Ropinerole and Muncuna Pruriens

[dahon]

Has anyone had any experience of combining Ropinerole with high strength Mucuna Pruriens L-Dopa extract capsules food supplement?

I am on 0.5mg of Ropinerole and reluctant to increase the dosage due to augmentation so I have just started to take Muncuna early in the evening followed by Ropinerole before bedtime that reduces my RLS symptoms in the evening and a decent night sleep compared to just taking Ropinerole at bedtime. Will this still lead me down the augmentation road by combining Ropinerole and Muncuna?

Probably. High dopamine levels = augmentation.

In brief, if you want to avoid augmentation, stop taking both and find a non-dopaminergic replacement.

If the dose of ropinirole is not enough on its own, then it's failing. This can be a precursor of augmentation.
