A member asked:
I have parkinson's & have just started to cut down on repinerole & have started taking entacapone. why has my tremor got worse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ROpinirole: Dopamine agonists such as and especially rOpinirole are particularly effective for tremor. You realize of course that rOpinirole and entacapone do completely different things. Entacapone isn't a dopamine agonist; it is an adjunct to levodopa to prolong its effect. One drug doesn't replace the other.
