Experiences with

Rotigotine

Been asked by consultant to try Neupro 4mg/24hr transdermal patches (Rotigotine) anyone tried them?

I've been prescribed the rotigotine skin patch by my consultant but my GP surgery are saying they can't prescribe it!! Presume this is down to funding. Anyone else had this problem?

I'm taking Neupro and Plurimen (rotigotine and selegiline), which natural supplement helps? Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you P.s The Rotigotine patches do not stick very well and I have to use Micropore as told to by a pharmacist. Thank you again

Hi guys has anyone had difficulty getting UK GP to prescribe rotigotine (nupro patch) due to cost compared to oral treatment, as just been looking at costing before I see GP Tuesday. I look forward to your replies as I know a lot of you have the patches thanks in anticipation shaft1952.

Note: This is also called Rotigotine Transdermal System. Thanks, Wil

I was prescribed the Rotigotine patch, and for a couple of years it was simply a miracle. The shakes became a thing of the past. I had also been on anti-depressants, and a change to these meds was made about 3 weeks ago. Like a switch, the patches completely stopped working.

He thinks they are sneaking drugs into his fluids & that my Sister & I are in danger......We found out yesterday that a Locum Doctor who saw him at the Care Home has allegedly reduced his Rotigotine to 1 x 8mg patch!

My GP has given me Rotigotine 1MG patches to swap to. So I have been weaning myself off Ropinirole. I would like to know if I need to get down to zero before starting the patches or can I just stop one now begin the other?

I take rotigotine 4 mg every day. I also take curcumin and a homeopathic product, Gelsemium sempervirens . I read the book by Bianca Molle and I'm practicing Zhineng Qigong (mainly wall squattings ). I read also the book by John Coleman and, some weeks ago, I started doing the Bowen therapy.

However, to stop augmentation, I take pramipexole and rotigotine patches and alternate them - usually every two days. This has definitely helped.

My 93 year-old mother is trying to change from Pregabalin (2 x 25 mg tablets a day) to Rotigotine patches (Rotigotine 1mg patch daily). Prior to starting the patches she had reduced then stopped taking Pregabalin. It is horrendous as she has hardly slept for days.

I have been using these patches for a year or so, they do work on an ad-hoc basis, and I have had to up the dose.  I take them in conjunction with Co-codamol - they used to help my RLS on their own, but as with most drugs, the effects eventually wear off sadly.....

She has give me a higher dose of the rotigotine patches and am back on gabapetin but only at night time now. Finger crossed this will help.

I started on rotigotine patches yesterday at 1mg,how long do these take to work? I'm so desperate. I've been thinking of going to A&E. I know there's probably not much they can do for me but it won't go away and I look ill with lack of sleep.

I take pramipexole and have rotigotine patches which I alternate. If I don't get the dosage right on any one day then I pay the price! I am writing this at 1am!

Hey guys, sorry for this post, its most likely been done before loads of times just wanted to check if my dad is on the right meds, or if there is anything he could be taking to help at the moment he takes; stalevo 200/50/200 amantadine 100mg rotigotine patches 8mg and has anyone tried any herbal

For several years I have been taking madopar every three hours during the day, together with entacapone, rsagaline and rotigotine patches. I also top up with dispersible madopar.

I have tried the following Pregabalin Gabapentin Nefopam Naproxen Amitriptyline Paracetamol Co codamol Iburprofen Codeine ropinirole And currently on rotigotine patches I think they are running out of ideas.

When I saw a neurologist a couple of weeks ago she recommended rotigotine even though I had been on pramipexole and ropinirole and couldn't manage either. My GP suggested starting with half a 1mg patch (even though it says don't cut them) and I did this for 6 days.
