Switch from Ropinirole to Rotigotine patches
I am considering switching my RLS medication from Ropinirole to
Rotigotine
patches as I have been experiencing augmentation. My doctor says I should wean myself of Ropinirole before starting
Rotigotine
and shouldn’t do a straight switch. Has anyone else experience this and got any advice.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my post about changing from Ropinirole to
Rotigotine
patches. There was some very useful information and experiences from everyone and good advice.

Side effects of Neupro transdermal patch rotigotine
Hi. I was prescribed this patch by my consultant. I'm on other medication for my fibro. On my last visit to see my consultant he wanted to take me of my ammatriptaline which I took 75mg at night, but he said it is known to make RLS worse and put me on this patch. But I've noticed my sleep is even worse

Am I augmenting already!!!!!
I have only been on the
rotigotine
patch for two weeks and two days and every day, my legs are getting worse. Last night I got no sleep at all and they're still going. I can only imagine that it is that... Any comments please?

Can I minimise the risk of augmentation on Rotigotine?
Having augmented on pramipexole I am aware of the high risk of doing so on
rotigotine
.

Rotigotine, FODMAP and meditation
I am now on
rotigotine
- Neupro patch. I am in bliss with no RL at all since I put the first patch on two days ago, and was able to sleep for more than an hour for the first time since January.

The link between Iron and RLS
Drugs which work on the dopamine system, such as pramipexole, ropinirole and
rotigotine
, are mainstays for the treatment of RLS. Another chemical that seems to be very important for the development of RLS is iron.

A question about pain in legs.
I'm currently on tramadol, Neupro patches- (
rotigotine
) a 2 mg patch which I use only half at a time by not taking the plastic backing off one half and after 36 hours (rather than the advised 24), remove the patch, take the 'new' side plastic off, and stick it back on.

I take 200 mg of Quinine Sulphate, 2mg
Rotigotine
patches and 210 mg of Fumarate daily which helps a bit. Having watched the TV program the other night I feel very lucky my symptoms aren’t as bad as the unfortunate people on the program.

Increased dose Rotigotine - side effects.
MybelovedhasPD has upped his dose by 1mg and is hallucinating - result is he is expending masses of energy holding on tight to the bedrail. He is exhausted!

Which therapy helped you the most?
These drugs, including pramipexole (Mirapex),
rotigotine
(Neupro), and ropinirole (Requip), act like the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. Side effects include daytime sleepiness, nausea, and lightheadedness.

Are neupro patches safe?
My doctor has prescribed
rotigotine
transdermal patches to help with body movements. However, the list of possible side effects is horrendous.! I would be grateful for advice.

Iron infusion: clarifying % of responders
I dropped my
rotigotine
patch from 3 to 2 mg, and my gabapentin from 2100 to 1500 mg. (I still take 5 mg methadone each evening, but may soon try dropping that as well.) Now I want to address and hopefully clear up some confusion regarding how many of us are likely to benefit from IV iron therapy.
