Whole-body shaking
I was given Madopar and a huge dose of
Rotigotine
which made things infinitely worse. The
Rotigotine
made my muscles extremely tense which caused the whole-body shaking. I'm trying to understand if the shaking I experience is a PD symptom or not.

sulfur in dopamine agonists
I tried dopamine agonists: Pramipexole and
Rotigotine
. Both give me stomach problems. My neurologist says they are the lightest and that the others on the market have more side effects. It is true? I have seen the chemical formulas of these drugs: C19H25NOS and C10H17N3S both contain S (sulphur).

PD sucks
Tried different meds - now on
rotigotine
patches plus after research, I now take mucuna morning and afternoon. Supposed to provide 240mg L-Dopa each day. It helps with constipation.

This may help some of my fellow sufferers.
During my past episodes at finding a drug that would work, I eventually was on
Rotigotine
4mg/24h which I have used for over 5 years and which would almost control RLS but I would end up with episodes a couple of times a week.

the curse of lifelong RLS…
Three years ago, at the age of 60, I got to see the professor himself and he advised Dopamine Agonists , either Ropinirole or the
Rotigotine
Patch, despite my ferritin being way below 100 my request for an iron transfusion was refused.

Occasional worsening
She is currently using 1mg Neupro Patches (
Rotigotine
) and most nights is well controlled. But occasionally (once every week or two) she has a terrible night and is in terrible pain. And then she settles down again Have others experienced the same? What are the options?

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.

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.

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.

Gabapentin or Pregabalin?
I put weight on before I started taking Gabapentin ( I was on Ropinirole for a while, augmented badly on it, then Neupro (
Rotigotine
) patch which worked for years then ‘stopped’ working, tried Pramipexole but was really scared about augmenting again though I didn’t but the worry was enough, so tried

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.

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.

Rotigotine
total dose.

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.
