Coming of ReQuip

Has anyone got any insights into coming off ReQuip?

  1. Hi . I have not taken ReQuip, but I do know that coming off any Dopamine promoter can be difficult and that doctors often encourage a tapering schedule that can be too fast for many people. If you are not in a hurry to come off it, I would suggest talking with your doctor about a very slow taper, using pill cutters to reduce the amount by small doses. Here is a forum post from another community member who had similar questions: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/forums/stopping-requip-ropinirole. Maybe or will chime in here with updates or advice. I hope this helps and that you are able to taper without withdrawl symptoms. Will you be trying something new?
