Ropinirole

Hello, my fellow RLS Sufferers, would like your opinions I have been taking Ropinirole for some time, but feel,they seem to losing their effectiveness, so thought about a change of medications, Pramipexole or Gabapentin
Has anyone tried these? Would love your thoughts!

  1. Hi . Many people who take Ropinirole find it become less effective over time. Sometimes, through the process of augmentation, it even makes symptoms worse. I hope you get some input from others in the community, but here are some forum posts about augmentation and about others who have changed medications that might interest you while you wait: https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/living/tips-manage-augmentation; https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/forums/stopping-requip-ropinirole and https://restlesslegssyndrome.sleep-disorders.net/living/medication-mix. I hope these help and that you find something new that brings you relief. Best wishes. - Lori (Team Member)
