Anyone have chest pain and swollen ankles with requip?

Post by debmorsn »

Requip worked like a miracle. I had become years younger in energy and happiness, however, about 3 weeks into it I started having mild chest pain and swollen ankles. I quit taking it Friday and tried Mirapex on Monday. Bam , the chest pain is back. Now I am going to try neurontin. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

I hope someone has an answer for you. I haven't heard of chest pain, but that doesn't mean anything.

Have you looked at the website for the drug? Sometimes they have a complete list of EVERY site effect ever mentioned in a clinical trial.
