I have finally tracked down the cause of my 11 day ordeal with severe muscle pain and severe swelling of my legs and swelling of face and hands to Requip which I just started about 8 weeks ago. Why is it so hard to find out that these symptoms may occur -- they were not listed among "common side effects". A visit to the ER last night showed lab results that were perfect including a CPK and BNP.

I would like to know if there are other Requip users that have experienced these side effects. I am tapering off the Requip.
