Ropinirole withdrawal
Hi all, newbie here. I was prescribed Ropinirole about 6 months ago, in May my ankles started to swell and got burning sensation in my feet. Saw GP again and he said it is probably diabetic neuropathy but my sugars are well controlled, anyway he put me on amitriptyline. Either of these meds was making

Changing brands
My Pharmacy has been messing around with my ropinirole. The last batch I collected was in a small round container and the pills were so tiny. I take 0.5mg x 5 tablets per night (total 2.5g) the normal round pills worked just fine. Now these weeny little ones are making my rls bad again, I fail to

transition from pramipexole to gabapentin
My GP initially prescribed me pramipexole which I have been taking for the last two months (one 88 microgram tablet) around 10 pm. This successfully stop my restless legs but, through this forum, I learned of the danger of augmentation. Having drawn this to the attention of my GP he agreed to switch

Ropinirole, Pramipexole and etc
Hi community, It's been years since I last wrote here as my RLS is quite mild. Few years ago it was quite under control even mild episodes. I used to take 0.25mg of Ropinirole (Adartel) in case of episode and it would work very well. I moved from London to Finland few years ago, and last year I started

Ovestin and ivf?
Ok, so I had an ectopic from ivf which resulted in removal of part of one of my ovaries. I have been prescribed with Ovestin (estrogen cream) as a result as I am very dry and itchy down below. I know I need to stop this before my next transfer but want to take it until the latest possible date before

Switch to Mucuna
Apologies if this has been asked and answered earlier. I am looking for a guide to switch from C/L to Green tea/Mucuna. Is there a method to calculate green tea against equivalent carbidopa doses? Is brewed green tea better or green tea extract capsule? Is there any interaction between green tea and

Hi, I've posted here before so just a quick update - RLS for 47 years, tried DAs, Gabapentin, Pregabalin and on Tramadol at the moment. I've been through augmentation.

does an rls friendly diuretic exist?
I have bad swollen legs which my GP thinks is caused by excess fluid It probably comes from a combination of my RLS medicines ( Pregabalin 250 mg and 2mg Neupro patch) plus a recent knee replacement operation. To get rid of this excess fluid my GP upped my normal 50mg Spironolactone dose to 75 mg.

Personal Sleep PR
This is the first time I have passed 8 hours of sleep in the almost 8 years of keeping track. I usually score 80 or 81. 89 is an all time record for me. So what happened. First off, I could feel my RLS earlier in the evening. Little things were beginning to trigger my RLS, nothing strong but

More Methadone?
I have had RLS for decades with real relief pretty well only from the now - forbidden Pramipexole. I have been on Methadone 15 mg at bedtime for about 2 years now which has been pretty good, allowing me approximately 5 hours of sleep some nights. Recently it has worked less well. I’ve been up frequently

Dopamine Agonist withdrawal syndrome
On what would have been Robin Williams' 72nd birthday, a reminder of how dangerous dopamine agonists can be. If you mention DAWS to a UK doctor, they have no idea what we are talking about. They mistakenly say it only happens if the patient had Impulse Control Disorder. It can affect anyone taking these
