Night 11 without Requip, best sleep yet
I don't want to get too excited but I haven't slept over 5 hours in a couple of months since reducing DA meds (
Requip
down to 1/4 and then 0). I am trying a later bed time 10:30/11 instead of 9 pm. I have always gone to be early and gotten up early even though we are retired.

London Royal Hospital consultants
I'm on Selegiline and Ropinirole (
Requip
). Be grateful for any comments or tips. Also wondering if this Hospital has good Parkinson’s nurses whom you can contact?

final days of Requip
I only took 1mg of
Requip
for a couple of years. Doctor said I could take 2-1 mg a day. Something told me not to do it so I only seldom took over the 1 mg. Recently I did take 1/2 because of taking care of a family member and her dementia didn't allow her to understand me walking around.

Melatonin
Melatonin and Reduced
Requip
to .75 mg from 1 mg. I hadnt mentioned i am following the low glutamine diet as well. It is so rare to feel good . My heart goes out to thise suffering. I think the melatonin is helping. Perhaps the large loading dose reset something.

Depressed, hopeless and sleep deprived with RLS. HELP??
I’ve been in
Requip
for 6 years - 2 mg XL, 2 2mg
Requip
along with clonopin & methadone. My neurologist of 15 years has given up on me. I saw another one a few weeks ago and she said everything she’d prescribe, I’ve already tried so she turned me away.

Met with neurologist out of Vanderbilt yesterday
I am quietly hopeful, I have been decreasing my
Requip
but it is a struggle but manageable. I seldom every let myself take more than 1 mg a day for several years, so hoping the nights slowly get better.

Accupuncture and RLS
I recently started taking Gabapentin 300 mg before bed with .5 mg of
Requip
. I have been augumenting for about a year now but usually don't take extra meds unless I am somewhere I can't get up and move around. Just wondering if anyone has tried Acupuncture? Thanks

Normal Meds: is this it?!
I say normal because up until recently I’ve used a cocktail of normal (Rasagaline,
Requip
and Madopar) alongside Mucuna. The Mucuna was my go to stuff if I needed an immediate lift as it worked so quickly.

Today is day 8 off

B12 and almost off Requip.
I am down to 0.125mg of
requip
. You can barely find the piece of the tablet it’s so small. The last two reductions were tough for the first 48 hours but I still am able to get 3-4 hours of sleep with kratom and gabapentin. Almost to the last step but nervous.

ChatGPT and Restless legs
Examples include pramipexole (Mirapex) and ropinirole (
Requip
). 2. Iron supplements: Iron deficiency can worsen restless leg syndrome symptoms, so iron supplements may be recommended. 3.

Stuck with requip feeling hopeless
I desperately want to stop the
requip
. My MD only wants to increase it but I don’t. I wondering if I could stop if I took 100mg of tramadol at night instead of 50 in morning and 50 at night? Maybe move the time of these meds back?

bad RLS, recent hip replacement
A year ago she was first prescribed pramipexole (0.25 and she takes 1.5 pills) and neurontin to take occasionally, and it first was working great, but in 6 months it got worse, she tried
Requip
, but it doesn't really help much.
