Went to my doctor 3 weeks ago i was on pramipexole told him i had some days when they did,nt work bad nights bad days so he put in on Ropinirole i was worse than ever 2 hours sleep so i took co-codamol they did,nt work. My doctor was on holiday so had to see another he gave me stronger co-codamol + sleeping tablets but i was still exhausted even though they made me sleep. I feel so tired all day i am crying with exhaustion so don,t take sleeping tabs. When i looked on rls website it said Ropinirole took
4/10 days to work and only as half life 6 hrs. So my doctor left me with no meds to help me at all. He obviously don,t no how rls meds work so how can they treat you for something they no nothing about. I am going back tue armed with imformation i printed off the website i now no more than my doctor im not sure he will like it. I ask him if he new about augmentation he never ansered me. I am going to instist on seeing a nurolagist one that understands rls this has gone on long enough i have had this for 40 years
Hi Carol well done for your assertiveness with seeing your doc,when I asked my doc about augmentation he said. We are getting a bit scientific aren't we ,you would. Think they would look things up instead of just dishing meds out,I do know what you are going through I have the tabs you have had but now on Tramodol things going ok,I have had rls 36 yrs and it doesn't get any better ,keep going Carol you will get relief soon if you stick up for yourself. Good luck x
