Ropinerole could be your friend

after taking 4 mg of Ropinerole for over 15 years I started dealing with augmentation. Started playing with gabapentin and Ropinerole and finally I got the dosage that works for me. 600mg Gabapentin plus 1mg Ropinerole 2 hours before bed time. Works beautifully. Legs don’t bother me during the day anymore and I get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. I read a lot about Ropinerole being bad but in my case I couldn’t deal with RLS without it.

That is a common report. Most people on here end up on 4mg Ropinirole and augmentation inevitably hits.Reducing the dose often leads to a reduction in augmentation symptoms. It did for me for around 2 months.

However, as the D1 receptors have been over excited by years on Ropinirole, they will probably start to trigger augmentation symptoms again in the day, eventually.

But at least you'll know the signs and you can then reduce to zero and increase the gabapentin.

Glad your RLS augmentation symptoms have settled.

I dearly hope you don't suffer augmentation. I'm guessing you'll be vigilant. Good luck.

I am currently on 150mg Pregabalin and 10mg Oxycodone ... but still find that RLS is a problem. When it is really bad, the only thing that relieves it is, of course, 0.125mg Ropinirole. Such a nuisance that it is such a baddie drug (and yes, I got augmentation from it a year ago ... ). x
