What works for me 10 plus years

[Bat3353]

For me the best meds have been neupro patch it’s a 24hr patch and at night I take 3mg Ropinorole I’ve been on this for more than 10yrs I tried getting off Ropinorole and it was hell just because of all the negative post I read here after a month and seeing 2 doctors I said why am I putting myself through this and went back to them the only positive thing about it was I lowered the dose of the patch from 4 to 2mg there’s a discount card on the web all you pay is 10$ copay good luck

Great!Long may you continue to have relief.

You are absolutely correct to try to reduce wherever possible.

Good luck.

If I can help someone from getting relief from this horrible condition why notive had rls for over 24yrs got really bad when I retired but it’s manageable and I live somewhat normal life

Are you taking the Neupro patch AND 3mg of Ropinirole? That’s a very high dose of Dopamine Agonists.

I understand why you gave up trying to reduce the Ropinirole. Withdrawal is the hardest thing I have ever done.

You know about augmentation so I won’t go on about it but be careful.

Just be vigilant about impulse control issues - or ask someone close to you to keep an eye out for them. Internet shopping, ordinary shopping, gambling or ... er ... romantic impulses. It can be hard to accept that they are actually being caused by the drug.
