Lorraine,
I have been using it for over a month now and it didn't do a thing
for me even at 6 mg.  Since I had no side effects and also no relief
from it at all and was worse than ever, my neuro has increased it to
10 which is not usually done.  I am taking more Sinemet than I was
when I was taking MIrapex but I was getting edema after being on 8
mirapex daily for so long.  With Neupro, I am also off much more
dramatically altho the new dosage may be a little better...I am going
to give it a month or so on this dose to see what happens - but I am
concerned that my feet are swelling again.

No easy answers....

In July the FDA approved the Neupro Patch.I haven't seen any
postings on anyone who has tried it.

  I have been on it and am now on the last week of titration..

  It seems to help my dyskinesia .but I'm having more and longer
freezing episodes.

  Hopefully,medication adjustment will help.Right nopw it's
discouraging.

  Any comments will be appreciated.
