reducing ropinirole dosage

Thank you thank you all. I will definately email Dr.Buchfuhrer (hope I spelt that right), and ask for his advice. I am going to reduce the Ropinirole by another 0.5 mg in the next few nights, and then try and persevere with that dosage until I see my Neurologist, in 4 weeks time. I am hoping he will...

reducing Ropinirole

I have started tackling this problem too, and my Ferratin levels are now up to a great big(??) 27!! Long way to g...

relationships

Yes, relationships are a challenge to say the least. Colin and I have been together for 3 years, I have had RLS for the last two. I had to admit defeat and we now sleep in separate bedrooms so that at least he can sleep even if I can't. He is very understanding, but it the RLS does affect his life t...
