Requip has been a mixed bag for me. Initially it worked very well with litte side effects. After a couple of weeks I began to experience, as I went to sleep, a flood of images. My neurologist suggested that this may be because the medication was stimulating the part of my brain that stored memories. This has since gone away. Augmentation is an issue with this medication and I am up to 1.25 mg after starting .25 mg a day three years ago. I hope this helps and good luck .

how do I find her?
At the top blue line, Says: my friends. Click on this & it will bring up your friends, If she is not a friend type her name (Cathleen186) in the line at the bottom requesting a friend notice. When her name pops up they will ask you if you want to friend her. Click on that line. Now she can ask you a private question. She most likely will friend you back so you two can talk privately. I am a friend & will tell her abour you too,
I just sent her a note to be on the lookout for you! Mary
