Dr Rachel Wilkinson - Railway Medical Centre, Blyth, near Newcastle UK, "she is very helpful and will look into what is best if she does not know" said Marymill - however she is a clinical oncologist

Dr Dorman a neurologist works at Nuffiedl Health Newcastle upon Tyne Hospital rec by Jezee

You might want to message Marymill and Jezee to ask about their experience.

And if you see either of them, let me know about your experience.

I live just outside Newcastle and would be interested to hear how you get on with these recommendations. So far I have had reasonable success with my GP who prescribed Gabapentin without question after I told him about the advice given here. As with most people I did suffer quite severe withdrawal symptoms during the transition from Ropinirole to Gabapentin.
