So they have in ropinirole (I forgot how to spell it) but 1mg doesn't seem to be working. :( what other meds can I request?
So right now I am currently taking ziprasidone 80 mg, chantix 1mg, topamax 50mg 3x day, and ropinirole for side effects 1 mg once a day. I can't believe I actually made it through the night last night. I had some psychosis and was up all night long, but laying and I had the shakes at first but I'm actually proud I made it through the night without popping that pill. Took my medicine this morning and slept for about 5 hours and no psychosis, hallucinations or anything.
I had the exact same story as you was on 1mg nightly for sleep and thats ALL I TOOK never more. My doc told me to taper slowly I started off 1mg for week then 1/2 1mg for week then 1/2 of 1/2 1mg week then whole peach for 3 days then half of that and so on till I was at a nibble of an 0.125 and then nothing after that little hard to sleep for 5 days to week but I made it an my sleep is normal now and I am SO GLAD I am off them.
today i saw a pain mngmt dr, he took me off hydrocodone 7.7/500mg, and tramadol 50mg, i was allowed 4 vicodins a day and up to 8 tramadol.
i have an appt to see him next thursday to, He put me on morphine sulfate IR 1m mg, 1 tab 2x's a day and morphine sulfate 30 mg CR 1 tab 2x's a day, I hope i get better and longer relief.
My question will these new meds help any thoughts?
This might sound like a silly question but I was prescribed Ativan in 2015 for generaliised anxiety. I took a 1mg tab morning and night for a week. I had researched what this tablet could do so i just stoped taking it. Just gave me bad diarrhoea but nothing more. My anxiety returned this year and I remember I still had the tablets in the cupboard. I only took two 1mg tablets and then stopped because I was too scared of dependency and withdrawal.
I take a 1mg tab before bedtime and don't take any during the day. I always feel better at night and worse in the morning while I am having my episodes. I also went up on my Lexapro from 10mg to 15mg within a couple of days of trying to decrease my Clonazapam. So really I'm not sure if I am feeling withdrawal still from the Clonaz or the up in dosage from the Lexapro. Or maybe both!? Anyway, thanks for the comment and hope you are doing well!
I have been taken Ropinirole for sometime now and it helps a little. As for sleep,I get very little of.
For women who has lack of folic acid what was the amount your dr put you on, and what did the dr say is safe. My multivitamin tab has 1mg of folic acid which is 1000 mcg but ive also been taking an extra tab of folic acid that is 800mcg(0.8mg) so im getting about 1.8 mg of folate acid, im going to call my ob, i just wanted to no what you women were taking. Im not preggo yet, just got AF after m/c and going to ttc next month.
sometimes Ropinirole (Requip) is also used to treat the sexual side efects of ssri
Hi, Not sure about everyone else but I know that for me the restless legs is one of the worst symptoms. I told my doctor that I was struggling and he prescribed me Ropinirole tablets, one to take before bedtime. I took one last night and, fingers crossed, it seemed to work. Most of you are probably aware of this but for those who aren't, it might be worth a try.
Hi, I take Ropinirole (Requip), and this mefication over the years has worked really well. But as you know what might work great for one patient might not work great for another. But maybe worth a try.
I was dx with RLS after feeling like my legs had a mind of their own....ropinirole 2x a day.
Hello, I am 29 yo considering OC to help hormonal imbalance (not so much pregnancy prevention). I have cystic acne along my jawline. I have been using spironolactone 50mg daily about a year. Overall, it's improved about 50%, but will worsen during pre-mentraul flare ups. However, my derm is hesitant about increasing my dose and suggested adding on OC.
Any reccomendation on what estrogen/progestin combo to try for acne?
I only recently learned that Ropinirole should be taken several hours before going to sleep. Made all the difference for me. I had been popping it 1/2 hr. before bedtime and wondering why it wasn't working. By taking it earlier, the sensations are gone before I get into bed.
Idaho, Have you tried Ropinirole? Seems like your symptom is mainly pain, rather than restlessness, so I'm not sure if this will work. I have had pain, but not to the same degree. Worth a try, though.
ive tried xanax and ativan they worked for a few hrs then the panic would kick back in.
