I have started the Neupro patch for RLS. I have Fibro, Migraines and RLS. So something is almost always bothering me. The Neupro was prescribed because my stomach has been so upset by other medications ( Gabapentin and Ropinirole). I would puke almost every day from those meds in the morning. I was hoping because I didn't have to ingest the Neupro it would work. I have went from 6/8 hours of sleep waking up numerous times, to 3 HOURS OF SLEEP awake for hours. This medication has made me almost an insomniac. And guess what....the less I sleep the more my waking hours have pain because of my fibo or I will get a migraine. I wish I could say it worked for me, but it didn't. My sleep doctor suggested going up in a dose....I am not sure how that would help while the pharmacist suggested stopping it.

Sorry the Neupro patch has not been a success story for you as it's been a miracle worker for me. Out of interest apart from the insomnia, did you find it worked as in did it stop /help your RLS? .What are you going to try next? ..Pipps x
Thank you. How has it helped? I'm not getting any other side effects. I'm not sure what my next move is. I don't have any other options? My biggest concern is my sleep and once I started the neupro I seemed to get a lot worse sleep. Any thoughts? Slow release melatonin? I can't catch a break.
Did the Neupro patch help your RLS symptoms? It works very well for me mostof the time .Melatonin may not be a good idea as it can worsen RLS. ,x
1 mg is a very low does, would it be worth trying 2 or 3 mg? Have you tried Pramiprexole? I am going to try this - it's next on my list! Good luck x
