Not so good !!

[tweedy66]

So I'd previously written on my "journey " of eliminating ropinirole from my med list !! Two days ago I ended a long relationship with this drug......started to cut down on May 9th from 6 mg to none.....meticulously cutting that tiny pill in the end. I'd been on a good streak with ropinirole but the specialist in Boston highly recommended that I get off it.....well ever since that last tiny piece of pill was taken I have had 3 horrible nights. My doctor increased the lyrica I was taking to 400mg. Well that didn't work......the Boston doctor had said it would not be an easy getting off ropinirole and he certainly was on point....I'll see how the weekend works out . I can relate so well to those who are also suffering with this condition.

Drink plenty-- especially orange juice.

Try get some sleeping pills just to get a few nights decent sleep.( Zolpidem is a good one-- smallest dose)

Some people use gabapentin to help with those symptoms. Also magnesium can help.

Look up Matt Finch for withdrawal help- don't mind the hard sells.😣

You will get through this. But it isn't easy. Keep busy if possible. Blockbusting tv series.???😜

Good luck.
