i love requip. i am allergic to sinemet and cogentin. requip stops the most painful tremors and spasms in my torso and doesn't deliver any side effects. i can vary my dose dependent upon my symptoms that day and not feel like i'm being jerked around by the medication. i wouldn't give it up for any amount of money.
