U must not have seen my posts about taking Ropineral for years. I hated the Ropineral bc it made me throw up almost every night....but I hated RLS more, so I took 2/2mg tablets until it quit working. I went up to 6mg, then 8, but it stopped working.

A highly educated cousin have me a one ounce bottle of CBD OIL/.3%THC

Full Spectrum.

That night I took no Ropineral at all.

That FIRST NIGHT NO RLS.

(I believe I took one dropper full early evening and another dropper full about midnight.

I quit taking Trazedon for sleep bc it caused RLS, and I quit taking Ropineral, and I quit taking the nausea medicine.

I only, take a couple of droppers of CBD OIL...at night and my OTC allergy medicine.

I can't drink a drop of alcohol without getting severe RLS, and tranquilizers given me in hospital caused severe RLS!

It is so ironic that substantial u would think would calm RLS, make it worse!

Hi, it's great that your CBD oil is working for you.

Ropinirole, as one of the Dopamine Agonists, (DAs), can turn nasty, especially when you take doses exceeding the maximum recommended as you did.

I'd say it was miraculous for you, apparently, to suddenly and completely stop taking Ropinirole without experiencing, it seems, any withdrawal effects. Despite the CBD oil.

If this is the case then it's brilliant that you did.

However, I really don't think you should be encouraging people to do that. Withdrawal effects for some people can be very severe and for some, dangerous!

Please also note that even if full spectrum CBD oil was effective in treating DA withdrawal effects, in the UK, where most members of this site live, it isn't legally possible to obtain full spectrum CBD oil.

Apologies if I've misunderstood what you've written and you did slowly wean off Ropinirole by gradually reducing the dose, i.e. the safe way of stopping. That's not what you're suggesting people should do.

Here's an update on the legality of CBD in the UK. Seems pretty confusing... marijuanabreak.com/cbd-oil-...

Thanks, in some respects it's quite clear, "full spectrum" CBD oil is not legal in the UK.

However, my main point was not about CBD oil, it was about the danger of stopping taking a DA cold turkey.

As for the CBD, not that i normally rate newspapers as a source of reliable information, but the following does suggest some caution.

I am so thrilled for you to be at peace .

RSL is such a horrid journey for many .

I have just slept the whole way from NYC to LA and now looking forward to sleeping LA to Brisbane never thought I would her those words roll off my tongue

I find CBD also very useful for asthma and nausea . It has some incredible properties.

Are you in America?

What brand do you buy ?

In addition to a small dose of oxycodone (5mg) for the restlessness I use full spectrum hemp CBD oil from Functional Remedies for sleep. I use 5 dropperfuls 2 hours before bedtime and have been sleeping solidly for 7-8 hours. The company’s recommended “serving” is one dropperful. I went up to 4 and was still waking up. Five was the perfect dose for me.
