So it's
Rotigotine
or nothing. Currently on 300mg pregabalin, asked if I could combine Gabapentine and Pregabalin and that was a firm no. So I am 74, thinking I should try the patch, what say you??

Weaning off Rotigotine 2mg patches.
I am keen to come off these patches because of moderate skin irritation and the fear of augmentation.My Sleep Physician has prescribed Gabapentin 300mg 3 times a day whilst tailing off the
Rotigotine
. How slowly should I tail off the
Rotigotine
, is it ok to cut the patches to reduce the dose?

Belbuca and post surgical pain.
I have taken Mirapex and
Rotigotine
with horrible augmentation symptoms upon stopping. I have also taken Gabapentin with terrible side effects. I also have tried several opioids in the past. I have taken Belbuca for the past several years.

Rotigotine Patches
Hi from England. I've just been prescribed these patches (2mg) a few days ago by my neurologist. He's told me to stay on my 4mg Requip (Ropinerol) because of the severity of my condition. He stated that he dislikes the term RLS as it seems to downplay the condition and wrote Willis Ekbom disease which

Insomnia caused by neupro/rotigotine
Been taking neupro patches up to 8mg for 8 weeks now and from day one had significant issues with sleep. I normally would fall asleep and wake up 4 to 6 hours later. Now it's often just an hour later and im fully awake. Anyone else got this from their meds? Anyone else had an success in beating this?

Rotigotine/Neupro patches causing deep drowsiness after food
I've recently been ramping up to my current 8mg of neupro. However now I'm noticing that an hour after any significant food I get a deep sleepiness to the point I'm almost asleep on the spot. Any one else get this? Is this just temporary? Think it's all food but maybe others found its certain things?

Neupro patch =
rotigotine
dopamine agonist only led to augmentation and severe restless legs syndrome which spread to shoulders - at all times of day. The neurologists don't believe us and only offer more of the same. So we are very unpopular for withdrawing meds and doing our own thing!!

How to escape Augmentation?
and pregabalin) Doctors also prescribed melatonin, Co-codamol30/500 and ferrous sulphate, After two to three years on
rotigotine
patches (up to 4 mg/da) they where stopped and only then did I realise I was in augmentation because of the dopamine agonists.

Whole-body shaking
I was given Madopar and a huge dose of
Rotigotine
which made things infinitely worse. The
Rotigotine
made my muscles extremely tense which caused the whole-body shaking. I'm trying to understand if the shaking I experience is a PD symptom or not.

The answer I received from my concern about the treatments on the RLS Foundation website
about a number of things I found , but the link under Resources --> Symptoms and Diagnosis leads to the RLS Foundation site where under Treatment --> Medications it says "the FDA has approved 4 medicines to treat RLS - Ropinirole (Requip), pramipexole (Mirapex), gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant) and

Auditory hallucinations
She has been on 8mg of
Rotigotine
for about a year, and we were considering whether this could be reduced to see if it’s contributing to the noise. She is also taking Sinemet 25/100mg every 4 hours, with the controlled release version taken before bed.

sulfur in dopamine agonists
I tried dopamine agonists: Pramipexole and
Rotigotine
. Both give me stomach problems. My neurologist says they are the lightest and that the others on the market have more side effects. It is true? I have seen the chemical formulas of these drugs: C19H25NOS and C10H17N3S both contain S (sulphur).

This may help some of my fellow sufferers.
During my past episodes at finding a drug that would work, I eventually was on
Rotigotine
4mg/24h which I have used for over 5 years and which would almost control RLS but I would end up with episodes a couple of times a week.

PD sucks
Tried different meds - now on
rotigotine
patches plus after research, I now take mucuna morning and afternoon. Supposed to provide 240mg L-Dopa each day. It helps with constipation.

Medscape article on RLS
First-line pharmacologic options for people with frequent or disabling symptoms of RLS are either a dopamine agonist, such as pramipexole, ropinirole, or
rotigotine
, or a gabapentinoid, either pregabalin or gabapentin. Note that these latter two options are off-label indications.
