Case study - an update. (might be of interest to "new" sufferers)
Have tried the usual Dopamine medications. ( Mirapexin,
Neupro
patch and Requip ) All showed varying degress of success in reducing movements during sleep but all left me feeling as tired during the day as when I was on zero medication.

I'm sure this question regarding Gabapentine has been answered before.
I am currently wearing a 3mg
Neupro
patch and am taking 400mg Gabapentine tablets three times a day. I have been on this regime for about two months and initially I experienced a huge improvement in my condition although the nights were by no means perfect.

Has anyone used Neupro patch? Any side effects? This is my second week and have headaches and blood pressure changes.
Still on
Neupro
, have RLS symptoms during day & night. No more headaches, they might have been from high blood pressure. Feelings in legs & arms driving me "crazy" and patch does not always stay on, Also found out that Ins. will not pay in 2013.

I saw Dr Ray Chaudhuri at Kings Collage Hospital yesterday He has reccomended Neupro patch. Can anybody give me some advice
He wants me to start
Neupro
patch which is the same as Pramipexole but given via patch with a continuous dose over a 24 hr period. Is anybody else on Pramipexole and does it help you sleep for more then 1-2 hrs Is anybody else on
Neupro
patch and does it help you sleep more at night?

Is anyone else allergic to Sinemet?
I've worked my way through Symmetrel (Amantadine) and Cogentin (Benztropin Mesylate) and I used the
Neupro
patch successfully up until it was recalled in the US (2008). Right now I use a combination of long acting Requip (Ropinirol) and a transdermal Emsam (Selegeline) patch.

What does too much Dopamine do to your system?
That is why the Parkinson's meds like Mirapexin and Ropinerole, plus the
Neupro
patch do not work for all of us, or the side effects `are too severe to be taking it. That is why I go a little nuts when I see how high the doses of some of the dopamine meds on this site and others.

Update on my 91yr old mum and RLS.
The Doctor did agree that
Neupro
is not pushed as a treatment because of it high cost, but should she not have success with Mirapex, he is willing to try her on it. So that is a result, only made possible by her persistence, which really it not the way it should happen.

Neupro patch pulse rate !
Hi all you lovely people can anyone using the
neupro
patch tell me if their pulse rate has increased mine has increased it's up to 112 bpm and even 125 bpm is that normal for us using the patch? The normal rate is 60-90 bpm Should I be worried??

Does anyone else "stagger" their pramipexole meds?
My GPs have refused to allow me the
Neupro
patch and when I tried the highest dose it made me fall asleep during the day. However I am finding it difficult to rest in the early evening, sitting down with the wife and family can be impossible.

Any comments on the new formulation - ie 300mg Gabapentine three times a day together with four and a half mg
Neupro
patches?

There is hope!
The neurologist had wanted me to try
Neupro
- but it didn't let me get off the Sinemet. This powder did - at a fraction of the cost of
Neupro
patches! I also have started making marijuana tea before going to bed.

I qualify for the DBS surgery (which scares me to death) & wonder if the Neupro patch could delay the surgery. Am on 4mg. so far.

Has anyone come off pramipexole and onto the Neupro patch successfully, without side effects? How did you do it?
Lots of you sing the praises of the
Neupro
patch and I was thinking I could try that again (due for a meds review with GP soon). However, largely due to lack of understanding about how they work, I ended up on 3mg/24hours which knocked me out during the day.

Blacklisting of RLS drugs in the UK: result of contact with my MP.
This could be the case in my situation because the
Neupro
patch was recommended to one of my GPs by a SLEEP CONSULTANT whom the second GP who refused prescription had had no dealings with.
