Ropiniirole

[frances1]

Update started ropiniirole 0.25 with 1 co codalmol at night seems to be working hope it stays that way. Had a drink last week before pills drink vodka/soda legs hurt badly the next day can alcohol affect legs. Keep well fellow RSL suffers.

Yes alcohol blocks the Dopamine receptors so can trigger RLS. One drink will set mine off so just not worth it! Glad you are doing well x

Very sad for me as I make home brew it's my hobby

[Redhots7 in reply to Mopsy1950]

Awwwww, sorry !

[Redhots7]

Yes, most medications will say on instructions: Do not drink alcohol.

[Altair]

Yes, I found this with alcohol too - - -. So I just stopped. It was surprisingly easy! I guess the RLS misery far outweighs the benefit (?) of drinking. It has all sorts of other advantages too, both health and financial.

I never thought I would be saying this a few years ago - - -.

Really miss having a margarita every once in a while but I am on to many meds to risk it !

[frances1 in reply to Redhots7]

Sorry to here that x

[Redhots7 in reply to frances1]

Frances1, no problem, never drank that much anyway 👍🏻

[John_naylor]

I can get away with one pint, it helps me get to sleep (Tramadol keeps me awake). There has to be some pleasures left!

Hi. Not being a drinker I wouldn't know ,but try not to drink next time & see if the same thing happens. That should be a good indication as to why it happened.

God luck .

If I touch alcohol my legs go crazy - I used to enjoy a regular drink, (went out every week) but now between RLS preventing me from drinking and ME preventing me from going out I am very limited in my vices

[beady3]

Yes I think drink upsets my legs to,I went on Tramodol 12 months ago and havnt touched it since,I also think sugar things don't help, when you are having a bad night and havnt had drink or sweet things it makes you wonder should I ,

[cumoneileen]

Yes I think so Frances. I also take ropinirole and a co codamol at bed time.

Alcohol does affect tablets. I weigh up alcohol or tablets? for a special occasion.

I do splash out now and again.

[Mopsy1950]

I make alcohol as a hobby, and love making it ,don't drink a lot ,but do find ,the odd wine , or rum does relax me ,,mostly I give it away,, makes good presents too

[Redhots7]

[frances1 in reply to Redhots7]
