Requip

I agree with Dr.Chew that Ropinirole and other dopamine agonists are good medications for PD, especially in the early stage. Many patients who have done well with dopamine
Though fludrocortisone will help some patients who has problem with dopamine agonists that lowering blood pressure and bring back pressure to normal but it causes me with dizzinness as I have irregular blood pressure level.
Kindly advise

My concern is there are two other dopamine agonists(Pergolide and cabergoline) both appeared to have cause heart value and behaviour(eg gambling)problem. Not sure if the problems will show up in the future.
