Augmentation
Before that I was on
Requip
2 mg twice a day for 2004. I am now down to 2 mg. Had two awful nights in a row. Not going back to three mgs. Being strong. What I’m noticing is that when I went from 6mg to 3 I had awful nights but symptoms were around the clock.

Augmentation withdrawal and neupro patch
I was on
Requip
for over 10 years and noticed augmentation and my doc switched me to the patch. At first I didn’t notice any difference but very soon I began to notice that just one patch wasn’t enough so I would leave the previous days’ patch on while applying a new one. Increasing my dosage.

RLS Mistake
Had some leftover
Requip
which I thought would help since it's been months since I augmented on it. Well, now my rls is coming on 2 hours earlier and I can't get anything to stop it except Norco, which I don't want to take every night.

After coming off Sinement
Through the years have gone through Mirapex and
Requip
as well. Currently not on any DAs. My question is after coming off a DA what then? How do you control the RLS? I'm currently on Lyrica and have had iron infusions. But the RLS still breaks through.

Can't seem to keep my mouth and tongue still !!!
It took about 6 months of taking
Requip
(max. dose) for it to calm down. I still have restless feet. I now am experiencing something very weird ! I cannot keep my mouth and tongue still 🙁They are moving constantly and I can't seem to stop it. Has anyone ever heard of this ?

Tried EVERYTHING, and now...
After having my pancreatic levels rise from the Gabapentin and ending up with cardiac issues from the
Requip
...well, over wrought. All the past medications and homeopathic stuff either worked for a short period, didn't work or or I augmented.

Dyskinesia from pramipexole
She then switched me to ropinirole (
Requip
), which I have been taking for 3 nights. My question is this: How long can I expect the tics to stay around? Won't the ropinirole cause tics too, since it is a similar drug to pramipexole? Thanks!

Iron infusions
., for RLS and the only thing that has consistently helped me is
Requip
2 mg at bedtime. Unfortunately, I developed daytime RLS a few months after being diagnosed and, consequently, after starting on
Requip
. At the time I wasn't on this forum and knew nothing about augmentation.

Feel like a zombie!!
I take
Requip
and have been put on Pregabalin for nerve pain. I am tired all the time and when I asked my GP if I could come off the Pregabalin he suggested Amitriptyline!! What hope do I have when my GP doesn’t know what to suggest? Thanks for all the advice on HAYFEVER.

Sleep help
What do you think, would low dose
Requip
help with sleep and not be too encumbered with side effects? My other question is can RLS be seasonal? It seems to rear it's head in the Spring, more than any other time of the year. And, which DA would you recommend? Thanks.

RLS Relief
I was on
requip
, that made it worse, which I didn't think was possible. I've tried the Tens Unit, which only works while it's on. You can only use that for 2 minutes at a time and it turns off. I have a rough pillow I put between my feet and legs that I rub on.

Need Advice RLS!
Then i couldn't take the withdrawls from the anti-depressant or the
requip
. I put myself bak on 20mg of the antidepressant which is down from 40mg. I went back on the
requip
attempting to lower my dose with no success.

Need RLS Advice
I am on
Requip
and Zanaflex. Most times it helps but not for long. I try to take it before I go to bed, so I can get some relief and sleep. Recently it's gotten much worse. It not only affects my legs but my arms spasm too.

Going off requip (ropinirole)
My doctor has been reducing
Requip
today was the first day I went on only 4 mg. Tonight I can’t sleep due to what I think is dyskinesia. It’s mainly in my left leg But it is troublesome enough to be keeping me up awake at three in the morning.

Tried most everything
Now I take Ropinirole (
Requip
),Carbidopa levodopa, and clonazepam. I suffer beyond belief but have found some relief in the Relaxis pad. I have had it for some time but was never consistent in using it.

Some questions for everyone.
When i add Ropinirole (
Requip
) i have very little or no problems at all. I have been on Ropinirole for the last 5 years and i quit taking it about 5 weeks ago. Now the question. Did stop taken the Ropinirole cause the problems when the C/L stops working?

Effect of Carbidopa/Levodopa on organs of the body
He take a 8 mg
requip
before he goes to bed so he can get out of bed at night. He had tried other medications to supplement and they have all made him have very disturbing dreams so we had stayed with what works for him.
