Ropinirple and tripping

[export]

HI when I was on the patches I had real bad dreams , since switching to Ropinirole now i have good dreams some time triply the problem is never know it go to happen. I was told that the patches work on the same part of the brain. My question is my one is nice and one very bad WHY ?

When I first bread 'tripping' I registered 'falling' but having experienced most ways to 'trip' I can see the point. I have always had good very vivid dreams. I don't always remember the content but the feeling. When I had a breakdown years ago I had 'night terrors' which were like extreme nightmares. Nowadays I have bad dreams, usually with pain &/or meds but still have beautiful ones too. I imagine it's as much down to what's happening in all areas of our lives as it is to PD or meds. Since I cut Requip by half (!6mgs daily - 8) I no longer binge eat but I do get RLS & leg cramps at night. Swings & roundabouts I guess.

YOU SAY since you cut requip ,Do you mean Ropinirole .why you may not be binge eating is this because you can't get to the food. have you also cut your L-dopa by half. if not then do

Requip...Repinirole.... 2mg - 14mg....... patches........ I've been through the gammit in the last ten years. This product, by whatever name was by far the worst. I would rather (an do) endure RLS that sometimes make me feel I'm winning the Boston Marathon than go back to taking Requip.

Best of luck to those who can tolerate this drug.

DBS has been the best answer to my PD since I was DX'd over a decade ago!

I take ropinerole(generic for Requip) 3mg 1x@7AM, .1/2x@10AM, 1x@1PM, 1x@4PM, 1x@7PM and 1x@bedtime. The last dose is to control my RLS and improve the amount of my sleep at night. Can't say I remember any wild dreams, but then I never did remember much about my dreams. I've been taking ropinerole since July of 2009. I also take generic equivalent of Sinemet and Azilect.
