Well here I go decided to just stop Ropinirole, took codeine and sleeping tablets,. Well I relented and took 1mg at 4am. I had had enough all day yesterday, oh how my legs jumped, really hurt my right knee. It is just 1yrs since I had a knee replacement and it was so bad, the pain was awful. I had forgotten how bad it was comming of tramadol. I eventually got some sleep from 4-30am
Ican't keep this up, so glad I have appointment with GP Tuesday.
Oh dear, sorry you had such a rough night. I dont think the codeine is strong enough for you to get through the withdrawals from weaning from the Ropinerole. Good luck on Tuesday with your doctor's appointment.
Yeah withdrawal is a bitch, I've done it so many times and it is always a 'killer'.
Hope you get some peace soon. What dose of codeine are you taking? The 8/500mg ones wont cut it - to take enough to get the proper amount of codeine yo help the RLS will result in a paracetamol OD!!!! IF you are on the low ones get your GP to up them to the 30/500's
Cheers raffs Di you think pregablin (lyrica) would help to get me through my holiday, what you suggested is no longer available to buy, it has been banned in UK, & some of sites say they have withdrawn stock & will be closing. Cheers shaft 1952
Not too sure, it helps some people but I've found lyrical/gabapentin both as useless other than some sedation, (bloody to tired to pace!) and an ungodly appetite!
Keep looking the teacher will arrive when the student is ready!!! 
This might be found useful?
1st night with gabapentin was not what I expected.
In my belief this is what caused my RLS!
what a start for 2017t 
What to take after Methadone
