I am totally new at this, so bare with me. Has anyone tried Requip for their fibromyalgia? I got up to 10 mg and it was like a miracle drug? I was taking it off label. I felt better and had more energy than I had had in over 10 years. It is very difficult to adjust to. You have to go up by small increases in dosage. However, right before Thanksgiving, I missed 1 night, and by the next night when it was time to take again, I had a 2 1/2 hour "seizure". It was triggered by the lact of the nervous system receiving its dosage. It was horrible. The next day every, and I mean every fibro point and all of my joints were swollen and bruised. I looked like I had been in an accident. Then just 6 weeks ago I was diagnosed with medicine induced diabetes. This can sometimes be a rare side effect on the higher dosages. Now on 2 oral medications for diabethes and being weaned off of the Requip. Don't know yet if diabetes will go with it. Any others with problems with requip and fibro?((((HUGS))) Kathy we all need "splashes" of JOY in the cesspools of life 3:16...........real joy  |
