Well that is the awful thing about fibro you can be sooo tired get to bed and thats it the pain starts and all the other things and you end up nodding off jus for few mins at a time and then the alarm goes off typical bless you hope you ok love and soft hugs Diddle xxxx

Morning all, Trowell, I had a really bad night, went to bed and had to get up again because I ached, went back to bed and then didn't sleep much as I was worried about waking up in time. I'm shattered now as I took loads of Gabapentin and Ropinirole. Better not sit down much today or I'll be nodding off.

Have a good day all xx

Hi sue sorry to nosey in, hope you dont mind.

What do you take ropinirole for, does it help you.

My tablets just seem to be not working as much as they did so i am after some different meds i can try when i go to my gp.

Hiya Kel, not at all, it's what we're here for lol. I take Ropinirole for my restless leg syndrome. I've had it for over 20 years and finally my present GP took notice of me cos I was going mad and he sent me to a sleep clinic at Papworth Hospital. The lady there tried me on different meds for it and none worked but Ropinirole did. I've had to up the dose a couple of times and then rather than up it again, she put me on Gabapentin to go with it. Taken together, for now, they do the trick. It was hard working out what times I needed to take the Ropinirole but that's sorted now. Apart from when I forget of course! :)

Ask your GP about it if your problem is RLS. xxx
