I am phillippa's anonymous friend. I came on here looking for information about how others are doing on either requip or mirapex. As to the heart valve concern mentioned, you need to keep in mind that from what I know the dosages being used for parkinsons are significantly above what I am taking. I take .5 mg a day and most patients are at 3-5 mg a day and up evidently although I am not positive on that as I dont keep up on this stuff as much. I take 50 mg of desipramine with it and its kind of like a pseudo wellbutrin concoction but am wondering if I need the desipramine. I was at 125 mg when the requip combo gig kicked in and started slowly reducing it down to 50 mg and held there since September, was chicken to stop it as I was afraid of going back down into the pit again. I am working on other meds right now such as geodon which has replaced zyprexa for my agitation thankfully but still am not up and motivated. I'm ok but just not upbeat and optimistic. So may try to get off the desipramine soon but we'll see. Have a good day...
