Neupro patch and Lyrica

Anyone try this combination after augment from other DAs?

Thanks!

Hi yes plus a low dose of opiate for back problems which also helps with the RLS

However I had a 12 months break between augmentation from Pramipexole before starting Neupro patch and stick to low dose strength of Neupro and take regular breaks x

Yes, slowly stopped pramipexol last November . I continued with max. 125 mg Pregabalin (Lyrica) to not much use. After 6 months I started 1 mg Neupro patch and at the same time slowly getting off Pregabalin. Right now I am still on the 1 mg Neupro together with 25 mg Pregabalin.

It works quite well - not every night of course, but most. So I am hoping to stay like this for quite some time.

This is encouraging. For some reason my neurologist stopped my Mirapex cold turkey. You must have a great Dr, he has me on 150 mg Lyrica...how do we know if it is too much? I’m scared of all this medicine, but also know I have to have it to sleep.....

As far as I know (also from my doctor), 150 Lyrica is not too much. But for me it was - because I did not favour the side effects and it did not help. But of course we are all different. The patch works for the time being, after removing I use baby oil and so far my skin does not react.

All the best
