So my post kind of got highjacked into multiple directions. LOL! So I started and new one.
My concern is still how to withdrawl from Ropinarole without losing my mind during the DAY. I have something for nighttime but the US is so paranoid from the abuse of opioids that only a miracle would help me find and get an appointment in the next 6 months with a doctor that would prescribe them. I researched Kratom but saw a lot of people who also had issues with that and it was quite addictive. I get paranoid with I smoke pot, haven't tried edibles but I do live in a state that sells them if you can get a medical marijuana card, but they don't give them for RLS. I'm encouraged to hear that for some as they reduced the Ropinirole the daytime became less. Just to review my doctor handed me the Pregabalin and a sleeping pill and said not to take the Pregabalin until I am completely off of the Ropinirole. I asked her with tears in my eyes how I could do that when I have to stand, walk-in-place, or pace around my house for hours inbetween doses? She said, that I had to get off the Ropinirole before I could take anything else, period. It takes months to get an appointment with my doctor to try and get the test for my Ferritin levels. I requested an iron level blood test last October at my annual physical and they didn't include it. I appreciate all the suggestions for testing but where I am in Colorado things move pretty slow and the insurance is resistant to almost everything. I mentioned the iron infusion and was told it was too dangerous! So this is what I'm facing. I appreciate the referrals to a doctors in Denver but that's not really possible for me to get there, I need a doctor in Colorado Springs, Colorado covered by my Insurance and Medicare. So that's just about covers it.
