How are you doing on Requip?
You mentioned you were on nortriptylline. My thought is that the TCA's were never found to be helpful in SP. Nevertheless, this one would be more activating than others. Perhaps Effexor or Cymbalta would be a better choice; at least you would get the benefit of the activating effects of norepinephrine, as well as the anti-SP effects of the serotonergics. I don't understand why the mixed TCA's don't work in SP, but the NSRI's do.
