Yes I meant Requip. What do people used when increased sex drive happens with the medication, especially if it helps another symptom caused by Parkinson.

Hello @denisepyfferoen and welcome to the Parkinson's discussion group on Mayo Connect.

I have never taken Requip for Parkinson's but I know of others who have. It can cause an increase in certain behaviors like gambling, sex, etc. This probably needs to be discussed with your doctor. Have you tried other PD meds prior to Requip?
