Can You Recommend A Substitute For Neupro That Is NOT A Dopamine Agonist (that Will Help With Relieving Stiffness?)
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

While it's a helpful supplement to the carbodopa/levodopa, in my husband it has triggered compulsive behavior. Requip, another dopamine agonist, had a kind of similar effect. He tried going off it several days, compensating by taking extra carbodopa. It wasn't enough, really, still stiffness, cramping.

For the cramps try Magnesium tablets. Magnesium got rid of my cramps.
