Ropinirole has helped me but there are possible side effects, have you experienced any?

Yeah, i get light headed and get indigestion but worth it for the difference it makes. Wish it stopped it altogether though.

I've been getting indigestion since I started taking Ropinirole too.

I had nausea, vomiting and fainting, quickly followed by severe augmentation, so had to stop Ropinorole. I am now on 1 mg of the patch a day. It's the same family of medicines as Ropinorole but less likely to cause nausea as it doesn't go through the digestive system, and also less likely to cause augmentation according to my doctor. I have to supplement it with Tramadol but so far, this is working mostly.
