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.

@denisepyfferoen - just wanted to circle back and see how things are going with the ropinirole (Requip)? Are you still noticing sexual side effects or any other side effects?

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?
