What Causes Joint Pain While On Requip?

Requip might be the culprit
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concern. Based on the description of your symptoms I am inclined to think that they are drug related. Requip is known to cause joint pain and unusual fatigue and weakness.
I suggest you stop taking the drug and see if you feel better during the course of 4-5 days. If you notice an improvement then you know what's causing it and I recommend you see your doctor to discuss on an alternative treatment for your restless leg syndrome.
If you do not notice any improvement after stopping the drug, you will initially need a complete check up, blood and urine tests in order to get a clearer idea of what is going on. Myositis could be a possibility.
I hope this helps.
Feel free to ask if you need further clarification.
Wishing you all the best.
