how to live through tapering off ropinirole
I started tapering off ropinirole but of course it is miserable. I'm on 1500 gabapentin but need more help. I have seriously bad augmentation---arms, legs, whole body--all night and very bad at 4am so I just have to get up.
My heart goes out to you,
. How long have you been tapering? Unfortunately, there is not a lot your doctor can do at this stage. In extreme cases, doctors might prescribe low-dose opioids, but that comes with the risk of addiction. Here is an article about opioids for RLS that might interest you: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/treatment/opioids. Here is an article about managing augmentation that might have some helpful information: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/living/tips-manage-augmentation. I wish I had better answers. I hope this period is short-lived and that you get some relief soon. Thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member)
