Questions about Neupro
Hello, Is it fine to taper off Neupro (
rotigotine
) patches by cutting out pieces? And what is the equivalent dose of Mirapexin extended release to a patch of Neupro 2mg ? Thanks!

Augmentation
I am now in my 6 month since augmenting from DAs (mainly
rotigotine
) and suspect that I am still having some withdrawal symptoms.

Ropinirole ( Requip) Ontario Parkinson's
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.

Slow release?
My consultant changed me from Ropinirole to
Rotigotine
patches, the theory being that as my pain and my symptoms are 24/7 slow release would be better for me.However I've been ten times worse since the change, and have a painful swollen ankle.

How to wean off of ropinirole and find a good doctor.
He just start going to a new one and he wants to put my husband on another dopamine agonist -
rotigotine
and unfortunately due to his stage four kidney disease, he cannot take large doses of gabapentin. He tried 600 mg for his kidneys 10 years ago and I didn’t do anything to help him.

Neupro (Rotigotine transdermal patches) for Parkinson's disease
Hello, Has anyone been successful in completely withdrawing
Rotigotine
patches and how did you achieve this? I am getting severe muscle stiffness as a withdrawal symptom. It also took me 26 months so far to go from 10 mg to just under 1mg per 24 hours
Rotigotine
total dose.

4x25mgs capsules pregabalin v 100 mgs capsule.
I recently switched to pregabalin capsules 4 x 25mgs at night instead of 1 x 100mgs capsule , in preparation for reducing the dose, and increasing my
Rotigotine
patch from a 2mgs/24 hours patch to a 3mgs/24hrs patch because of side effects. I also take 25mgs pregabalin each morning.

Augmentation Concerns Being Overblown?
[u]Subsequent choices include maintaining the dose, replacing oral agents with the
rotigotine
patch, adding another agent from a different class, and discontinuing the drug.

Lots of OFF and Food interference
Can a low dose of
Rotigotine
cause worse impulse control problems? I currently have a script for Inbrija, but it's not much use when I'm OFF -- doesn't have much effect on me, it does work some to extend on time if I'm already ON.

rotigotine
every night My symptoms dont normally start until around 2130 But I have also arthritis in my knees and last night around 1800 the pain was so bad I decided to use a small heat pad ( about 2 foot by 3 foot.)

Effective Neupro / Rotigotine dosage
Hi all. 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. For those who have taken Neupro or have a good research study on the issue, at what dosage was it effective and

Edited: PD increases chance of RLS.(yes) Azilect worsens RLS.(wrong) Ambroxol, being an antihistamine I believe worsens RLS.(incorrect)
https://www.rls-uk.org/augmentation-rebound quote: common treatments, using dopamine replacement therapy (commonly dopamine agonists and levodopa preparations such as Ropinirole, Pramipexole, and the
Rotigotine
patch) may lead to complications.

Dopamine agonists
These include ropinirole, pramipexole and
rotigotine
." No mention in that answer of problems with augmentation and that Gabapentin/ Pregabalin is the preferred treatment now. Don't RLS-UK agree with the advice that's generally given in this forum?

My visit to the Neurologist in the UK
The advice from the “movement specialist” was to continue on the Ropinirole at present but suggested
rotigotine
patch as an alternative. The sleep study has been abandoned as the sleep specialist’s opinion is “that most people with RLS do not require this. I felt very disappointed about this.
