It is so strange that some nights isn't bad and then other nights everything goes haywire. Last night I was awake all night with muscle spasms and nothing I could do would stop it. I am on Neupro patches which generally work but other times they don't for no particular reason.

Hi! Curious what neupro patch you are on? I'm on 4mg and only get about 12 hours of relief. Better than nothing, but 6 hours at the beginning and 6 hours at the end, no relief at all.....

They are Neupro 8mg Rotigotine. Seems to work most of the time, but as explained some nights not for some reason.

As I said once before I have been on Gabapentin for a few years now I take 300mg 3 times a day and they work most of the time but then for no reason just to show whose in charge it comes back, I have also started taking a quinine tablet each night and that also helps, funny old world we lot live in. Keep smiling its either that or cry.
