can anyone out there give me some advice

I was on Requip, got to 8 mg before suffering the effects of hallucinations, sparkly vision, etc, etc, etc.

I reduced down to 6 mg and all of those symptoms went, Still had a swirly head, but then I've had that for the last 6/7 years.
sorry posted in the wrong place before.

I went to see my neurologist who has decided the dopamine agonists do not suit me and has referred me to a Parkinson's specialist, which begs the question why did he put me on the neupro patches?

Anyway, I started on 2mg, and now on 4mg. But I'm so stiff, achy, queasy, and swirly.

My question is, should I just persist with the patches and see what happens. Or should I go back to 6 mg Requip until I see the specialist?

Well my GP even let me go back to the Requip?

Any suggestions gratefully received
