Hi,

It's a tricky situation. Focal dystonia is often helped by Parkinson's drugs. There are a lot of them. There is often a lot of other mental issues associated with the Parkinson's AND the medication can do this also. There are a lot of other Parkinson's medicines and requip is generally with less side effects, but certainly has different ones since it acts significantly differently than pacitane.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
