To Infuse or not to Infuse
This included one person who cut their
Neupro
patch in half and another who cut their Gabapentin in half. If the person had to stay on the DAs and could not withdraw I did not count these people even if they felt the DAs now worked better and there were two like this.

Neupro patch advice
He did offer either I up my Gabepentin up to 900 mg at bedtime( I am taking 300 mg at 3pm, 600 mg at 5, and now 900 at 9) or to start the
Neupro
patch. It is also a dopamine drug and I am so tired I couldn't even recall good or bad but recall some having problems with it.

"Restful Legs" arsenicum alba for RLS - risk of arsenic poisoning?
A bit of back story: I am currently attempting to wean of the
Neupro
patch 1mg under the direction of Dr. Berkowski. After a trial of buprenorphine (the lowest dose patch made me insufferably sleepy and nauseous), I am trying liquid methadone.

I have tried Pramipexole and
Neupro
Rotigotine patches as alternatives but can not take them due to severe side effects. My neurologist says we are out of options and I will be trying a change of schedule . I will now be taking one (1) levadopa/carbadopa 25 mg / 100 mg, every 1-1/2 hours.

RLS Question
Once my current doctor took me off the Mirapex, what I am now on is a
Neupro
patch of 3 mg Lyrica of 100 mg clonazepam 1.5 mg and with that said it’s difficult to be awake and alert the following day. So it makes me groggy.

augmentation on neupro+Gabapentin. should I switch to a different dopamine agonist? All that’s helping is cannabis.
I’ve been on
Neupro
1mg patches for 4+ years. I also currently take 800mg Gabapentin: 400mg twice a day. In the last month my RLS symptoms have appeared nightly beginning around 9:30pm. I’m able to fall asleep but then wake up in the middle of the night with RLS symptoms.

PD Meds Not Working
She put me on
Neupro
and my symptoms got worse. I say worse as in severe freezing, off balance, weakness in my legs. As of today I need to use a walker and it is slow going. This all escalated within a two-month period. Any ideas?

Hypersexuality and impulse control disorders (ICD)
The dopamine agonist implicated in these issues is
Neupro
(10mg), and we've encountered difficulties in tapering it down. Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of OFF and Food interference
I've been offered to consider Entacapone,
Neupro
patch, Apomorphine sublingual, Rytary. All have pros and cons. I don't want to add to anticholinergic load, so as I understand, that leaves either adding
Neupro
low dose, or switching to Rytary.

What to try next?
He is now offering a choice between trying Artane, or a
Neupro
(dopamine agonist) patch, perhaps left on only during the day, or commencing low dose Madopar. Does the community have thoughts on this?

info on anti nausea drugs
I haven’t yet got the
Neupro
patches so am still on Ropinerole. Can you advise me which anti nausea drugs are bad for RLS? And which are best? I have a severe allergy to Metoclopramide.

Did/Does anyone have issues with sleep disruption taking Neupro?
While taking
Neupro
my sleep is very disrupted, only sleeping 2-4 hours at a time. And my schedule has shifted way ahead e.g) used to have 11pm bedtime, now lucky to get to sleep before 3am. It feels like I’m energized/caffeinated, somewhat like taking Modafinil, if you’ve ever taken that.

Neupro and insomnia
I have been using
Neupro
patch 2 mg for a year and a half, which has worked very well against RLS. So it is restless legs that I have any problems with. But, I have had other sleep problems as I suffer from insomnia, i.e. difficulty falling asleep. Commonly, this can be a side effect of
Neupro
.

neupro patch
His doctor took him off the
neupro
and raised his carbidopa levodopa weekly to 2000 mg/day. He had no withdraws and did very well. Not sure if this will help but his hallucinations disappeared.

The answer I received from my concern about the treatments on the RLS Foundation website
number of things I found , but the link under Resources --> Symptoms and Diagnosis leads to the RLS Foundation site where under Treatment --> Medications it says "the FDA has approved 4 medicines to treat RLS - Ropinirole (Requip), pramipexole (Mirapex), gabapentin enacarbil (Horizant) and rotigotine (

Updating and confused
I am wondering if I should just think myself lucky for the small improvements and forget about the Buprenorphine or at least until the Gabapentin stops working again, I really do not want to increase the dose having been down that route with
Neupro
patches and experienced a hideous time coming off them

Effective Neupro / Rotigotine dosage
Things are bad enough and nothing else is being effective, so I’m trying
Neupro
for the first time. I’m well aware of the risks of augmentation but you have to do what you have to.
