12 Mar 2022	it just does not long enough. I suffer from medical induced opioid dependency and take sifrol to alleviate withdrawal symptoms However I find that lately I need more then one tablet to stop withdrawals I am afraid that if I take more than prescribed Sifrol will not work at all. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

13 Sep 2011	Early stage of parkinson, only leg tremor.Sifrol only slightly reduces tremor, but other side effect like nausea, sleeping disorder very mild. Balance not very effective...probably dosage low, shall review with doctor soon —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
