@barbarn- I was on Requip for several years then my new neurologist put me on Phampexol 0.5 MG. I take 1 in the morning and 2 at bedtime. It works really well most of the time. I also take Gabapentin 300 MG 3 at bedtime for the shingle pain in the left leg. If I could only find something for the back pain, I would be a new person! Ha. I read other people's posts and then I know that I am blessed. God Bless and good luck!
