After taking Requip for a few weeks, I was found to have Atrial Fibrillation. This had not been present at another cardiogram a few months previously, nor ever before.

In looking at a study of 157 patients I found on the Internet, two had been found to have this effect.

The difference is the higher Parkinson's dosage they received and the lower Restlesss Leg Syndrome dosage I took.

I have since been taken off of the Requip at my request.

My husband, 62, has also been diagnosed with A-fib. His symptoms began on the third level of titration of the drug. Would you be willing to share the link to this case that you are studying? He's never had a-fib before, and we think that the onset of his symptoms coinciding with the accelleration of his dosage is not a coincidence.

Daily Horoscope for November 15

Taurus

The Moon moves through your seventh house of marriage and partnerships, helping you make a fresh start in important relationships. This may be painful as stern Saturn and obstructive Pluto complicate matters; you may have difficulty accepting certain changes within yourself or someone you love. Some of you may also be in conflict with a parent; try to step back and see the great cycle of life.
