My gp has given me ropinorol to try for restless legs, they have been so bad of late that I haven’t slept, it’s been driving me crazy to the point that I would gladly give up my legs, I explained my stress to my gp and she wants me to try them. Any advice or problems people have had with this drug would be very helpful
Thanks all

Pickle juice helps with leg cramps.
I take it and it does help!
Thanks for all your responses re my question about ropinorol, I started on 0.25 for first 2 nights, 0.50 for the next 5 nights ( I am on my third night of 0.50) and then 1 gm for 8 weeks when I will see my Gp again to check any progress, I also have to have a blood test when I have taken the drug for 4 weeks to check kidneys. The first night I took it was great shaking reduced dramatically, and to date no shaking only thing is I’m not sleeping very wel, I have been prescribed zopiclone but have to take it sparingly. But all in just to have the relief from rls is amazing just hope it lasts.
I have been on ropinerole for about a month. I had a non stop charlie horse for a week. I don't know how i survived it. Anyway i told my doctor that i keep feeling like it is going to go into a charlie horse again so he put me on this. I have not had one since taking it and have not noticed any side effects. I also take hylands leg cramp natural pills and i think they both help. They also have hylands restless leg supplements atbwalmart or drug srores. My friend takes them for restless legs and says it helps alot. Good luck. Hugs
I have to say kelly its been amazing
