Hi, Has anyone one this forum tried Rotigotine patches for their RLS? I have just been perscribed them and am currently on day 1 of using the patches. However, I have noticed that I now wake up around 10-12 times a night compared to 3-4 times a night when I wasnt taking any meds for my RLS?

Hello I cannot find 2mg Rotigotine neupro patch, but I found 4mg, can I cut it in half?

I asked my doctor if i could try mirapex or some other drugs such as rotigotine & gabapentin. He told me that gabapentin is no use for rls and i might as well use amitriptyline first if im wanting those drugs.

I have been prescribed these patches for PAGF supposedly to help with my walking.. They do no t seem to be having any effect at the moment. Anyone else know anything about these patches?

Switched to Gabapentin in the autumn 2013 but again these stopped working and also my new doctor would not prescribe as unlicensed in the UK and 3 weeks ago I started on 1 mg Rotigotine patches.

Went onto Rotigotine patches. OK for 6 mths then all the side effects started badly. Mum tops up the Prami with Roprinarole. Is that a bad thing? she tries not to take them but gets so desperate. She can take 3 Roprin a day and has tried spreading them out. Is it better to take 3 together?

I'm wondering what other medication others take to supplement the patches if the dosage is not controlling the symptoms. Gabapentin did not suit me and I have the feeling it's replacement, Pregabolin is going the same way - anyone else tried Pregabolin?

I recently changed from Ropinirole to 2mg Rotigotine patches along with 600mg Gabapentin and have very quickly experienced swelling, fluid retention, nausea, reflux and worst of all, the feeling I am choking. I can only sleep either in a chair or sitting up in bed.

Was it any help?

I was reading that anyone using Neupro (Rotigotine) patches should have their eyes checked regulalry. However, it does not say why or how regularly it should be done. I cannot seem to find out anything even my Opticion knows nothing about it. Anyone any ideas or have had such advice?

On 2 mg at 6.0 in evening if I don't take it at this time my legs are all over the place no life so my neuro surgeon is going to try me on a new med they call it rotigotine skin patch(I don't think this is new been on this before MThs ago) but I will try anything
