Hi. The same thing happened to me and by default I used the Roprinorole XL (slow release). Since then I have never looked back. Always get a few breakthrough symptoms but I think most of us get that whatever meds we take. Good luck.

Neupro Patches seem to work for me. They contain Rotigotine.

What is rotigotine? And does it really work?

Even that might not work. You might get RLS in the amputated (phantom) limb.

I think i should just get the part of the brain that controls it cut out. What do you think?

It is a Dopamine agonist. It does work for me at the moment but for how long is anybodies guess. I have been on it for about 6 months.

sounds as if you have augmentation the only thing for you to do is either come of it or change your meds, they say that the patch is very good but I cant take it, why don't you give it a try, but some GPS wont prescribe it cause it costs to much but you can always ask doesn't cost anything to ask

Thank you will ask can only tell meno
