In reply to REQUIP - questions about dosing AndrewB, posted by Katz on February 4, 2001, at 9:45:07
Kathy,
Sorry the amisulpride doesn't seem to work for you.
I can give you the REQUIP dosages but I think it would be better, if you don't mind, if we step back and look over your situation first.
Your sleepiness induced by bromocriptine is troubling. I haven't heard of that before. Bromocriptine is a D-2 agonist while Mirapex and Requip are D2/D3 agonists. Bromo. as an AD, on the occassions it works,seems to eventually poop out. It has been speculated that Mirapex's better response rate and lack of poop out (I haven't heard or read of mirapex poop out so far) is due to its D3 receptor activity. Yes, I'm wondering if Requip won't just knock you out like Bromo.
Anyway, if you don't mind, give a history of the medications (and even recreational drugs) you've taken, your responses to them and what your symtomology is. Hopefully if I can't, somebody else on this board can make some sense of it. If you don't wish to be so public you can email me at andrewb@seanet.com.
Without such information, our suggestions will probably be just rainbows that get your hopes up but disappear when you actually try to get to them.
You have my sincere concern,
AndrewB
