Does Intake Of Requip Or Hydrea Result In Any Adverse Side Effects?

I have severe RLS. I am taking Requip 2 to 3 times a day. I t can start as early as late morning. I have had this condition for 30+ years. It is complicated by polycythemia though I have very low iron. So I am taking Hydrea for that. Being monitored - possible iron infusions in the future. I have been experiencing alot of pain in my joints (hips, legs and knees) day and night. Is there a side effect from either drug?

please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
