Hot Flashes with Requip

Post by sistergoldenhair »

Just joined the discussion group today. Been taking Requip since late January. It's helped significantly and only on .25 for now. I'm over 50 and thought I was finally through with those waves of heat I used to get; now, I'm getting them again and more frequently. Any connection? I also wake up at 4:30 most mornings.

Dear SGH,

Glad that you are finding some relief with the Requip. Don't know if the Requip has anything to do with the hot flashes or not, but just wanted to say that after I turned 52 my hot flashes were back with a vengence for about a year. Hopefully it is only temporary. Hope that you have continuted success with the Requip. Hazel
