what is ropinirole for

I have been taken Ropinirole for sometime now and it helps a little. As for sleep,I get very little of.

I realised a while back that bread did me no favours generally, apart from being a quick fix for hunger pangs, and now rarely eat any. Gluten is of course present in many other things. Thanks for the tip. I will check that out.

this is pssd or post ssri sexual dysfunction

But as you know what might work great for one patient might not work great for another. But maybe worth a try.

I'm glad you found something that worked. RLS was the worst for me too. Ropinirole is sold in the US as Requip. It was originally prescribed for Parkinson' Disease and then it was discovered that it works for RLS. Keep going forward. It will be over soon.

I have been taking Ambien for 5 years now and take anywhere from 20-30mg, plus Lamotrigine for Depression, Ropinirole for RLS, and a few others. The Ambien does not work well for me anymore and this past month my insomnia has escalated. In addition to the RLS I have body jolts, hallucinations while I'm falling asleep, and these electrical zapping sensations throughout my body.

t wait to pop that sleeping pill and sleep! My active life is gone! My question is... What pain meds can I ask for? Pain meds are nit top of my list... Heck this gabapentin loops me and makes me unlike myself. Don't need to be a looped zombie just a pain free one!

l was finally given Tramadol for help with sleep. Per the rehab facility Tramadol is only drug prescribed as to very low addition rate. Supposed to be basically non-addictive.

I just came off tramadol. The withdrawl process is insanely horrible. Not trying to scare you but it is. Tramadol is highly addictive. I'm on day 13 and feeling so much better finally. Good luck! Please don't do if cold turkey, you can have seizures.

Hi there. There is no known cure for restless leg syndrome. Treatment is aimed at stress relieving of muscles like warm baths, gentle stretching exercises and massage. lowdoses of pramipexole and ropinirole can be effective. For disturbed sleep, you may be give medicines like gabapentin, pregabalin, clonazepam. Iron supplements for iron deficiency and low dose narcotics can be tries. Take care.

I called again today, and she gave me a prescription for Requip (since there is a generic for it, and is less expensive than Mirapex). She started me on the starter pack. I take 1/2 of a .25 mg tablet for 4 days @ bedtime, then 1 full .50 tablet for 4 days @ bedtime, finally then 2 tablets 1 mg after that. I am concerened that since I have been taking 1 mg of Mirapex, that the dose of Requip won't be enough.

For some time now I've been feeling my bed shake. It feels like a little tremor, a kick to the bed or like some one moved in the bed. It is always during while I'm asleep or really relaxed close to falling asleep. I don't understand it. My mom says its the peacocks landing on the balconies or on the roof so one time when i felt it i went to check, and no peacocks. Besides they roost after 8pm, they're not roaming at night, geez.

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.

Since I already have RLS, will I have to look forward to an increase in the severity of my RLS??? I am very worried. I take Requip (ropinirole) for RLS but it is not a total relief of it. RLS is hell as you dread going to bed, you dread movies, you dread airplanes as you know that your legs will instantly start to ache and you will have the compulsion to constantly move them to relieve the discomfort.

I have been diagnosed by my Dr, but the meds he gave me are not helping. He says there is no cure, but prescribed me a medicine for MS. It feels like a horse is chewing on my foot. They dont tingle, they THROB. The only relief I have found is a hot heating pad, tiger balm and alot of prayer. I wake up exhausted from fighting the pain.

hello there, I have had RLS for 5 years now, 2 years ago I sprained my neck and was given Tramadol,it helped my neck but also took away that nasty sensation in my legs my doc has kept me on it since. I had tried everything and this is the only thing that worked for me besides warm baths, good luck to your daughter.

muscle relaxers//other than soma//are not usually a problem..soma is not for most people but it can be a problem for some...zanaflex, flexeril, baclofen are some muscle relaxers that could help with cramping and sleep....it is important to get ur sleep to make it thru the physical part of wd...good luck to u..there r also supps etc that can help..read thru the health pages..there is also an article in my journal about rls..

I took 2/3x day for the first week then went to two per day and I adjust for weather and activities that irritate it. As for telling you what is wrong I have no clue but I hope some of this is helpful. Good luck to you.

medical background: I am 21 years old. I have been having severe headaches since I was 16. Chronic joint pain at 16 as well. I was EXTREMELY active as a child/teenager. (Swimming, Soccer, Cheerleading, Tennis, Track, Volleyball) Pain became worse after I had a child.

My doctor prescribed me clonidine for withdrawal. ROPINIROLE for restless leg syndrome. Ambien Cr for sleep and valium for anxiety. It all helped but the first week is hell on earth.

put me on high blood pressure med.s and Ropinirole, which is for restless leg syn. Which that is not the entire reason I am not sleeping. Truth is my mind is going a mile a second. Chol. is high to boot, and I've lost about 8 lbs in a week...not trying at all. That being said...Today I had an Nuclear uptake and Scan (radioactive Iodine) It showed the Hot nodule very clearly Uptake was 16% with the range of ( 10%-30%) so according to the tech. It was in range. lower end but in range.
