Any advice? Good/bad experiences with the Neupro patch for PD?
My new neurologist wants to take me off the Sinemet ER gradually and start me on
Neupro
patch to reach 8mg. I have no cognitive or balance issues, mainly tremors and rigidity. My skin is easily irritated and I have a weak stomach. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Stable on 2mg Neupro
Now on 2 mg
Neupro
(3 mg caused burns and blisters). And 0.125 pramipexole. This seems to be working at the time and taking Gabapentin 1800 mg will change to lyrica next week or 2. The plan was to discontinue
Neupro
but no problems now!

Does anyone have experience using Neupro 2mg patches?
I finally went to see a Movement Disorder Consultant at the hospital last month and she wants me to transfer from Pramipexole 0.88mg tablets to Rotigotine patches. My prescription has been changed and I now have the patches, but I am scared to use them after reading the info leaflet, and I am thinking

Weaning off Neupro 1mg - Tips?
I’m contemplating weaning off
Neupro
1mg in the next 6 months. Does anyone have guidance on how to cut up the patch for a safe taper and a schedule to follow? I take Gabapentin as a PRN for anxiety and am hoping that med would be enough for my RLS. Anyone have experience making this transition?

Sharing DBS Journey
Up until almost two years ago, as far as he shared with me anyway, he was mostly doing ok on his prescription meds: 2.5 tablets of 100/25 Sinemet and the
neupro
patch. It wasn't always smooth, testing out different meds along the way.

neupro
daily before the infusion for 4 years. Thanks Jim

Mannitol and B1: What’s going on?
Over the next months, this gradually allowed him to reduce his dopamine meds, first eliminating the
Neupro
patch, then gradually eliminating Rytary. He has cognitive impairment and too much of those 2 meds would cause hallucinations. But dialing the dose in let him move pretty well.

Too much dopamine
I am on the 8mg
neupro
patch and take Rytary 195 in the am 195 at noon and 145 at night. My Dr says I can increase it when I feel the need to. Does anyone do this and how do you know you have too much.

Anxiety, Dopamine and Serotonin
My neurologist said he didn't think increasing the size of my
Neupro
patch to raise my dopamine levels would solve my anxiety. He thinks my anxiety and panic attacks are caused by low serotonin levels. But increasing the dosage of my SSRI Lexapro would likely worsen my RLS.

Neupro withdrawal syndrome
I also wonder if I should try tapering off
Neupro
and get on something else? But I think the withdrawal will be too intense judging by what's happened.

Ecopipam and Dr. Ondo.
We will be conducting a small, short study of ecopipam in RLS patients currently taking only dopamine agonists – pramipexole (Mirapex), ropinirole (Requip) or rotigotine (
Neupro
) – who initially had good benefit but now have augmentation. Other RLS drugs will not be allowed in the study.

Update: Newbie, starting medication - Rasagilene & Rotigotine (Neupro) patches
If anyone has any advice as I move forward, especially experience with getting the most benefit from the
Neupro
patches then it would be great to hear from you. Best wishes to you all.

RLS and now apnea
I am trying the
Neupro
patch, despite its drawbacks, because there are drawbacks to every drug, and I really, really need to get enough oxygen when I sleep.

Is this progression normal
On Sinemet 3 hourly, Rasagiline 1mg and Madopar 62.5 daily +
Neupro
patch 4mg. Nothing new seems to have any effect after a couple of days. Additionally he’s been on HDT 1g daily for a year or so and I’ve just bought a Wellred coronet to see if that can help.
