Conflicts with Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole?

Post by LessRest38 »

I had some trouble with diverticulitus and was prescribed with ciprofloxacin and metronidazole. I haven't had much sleep since then and my rls starts in the morning instead of waiting for late afternoon. I would like to know if has been experienced by others?

These drugs have not been mentioned on this board as having caused problems with RLS, so if someone has had problems, they haven't posted about it. You may be the first to have noticed a new interaction with these drugs. OTOH, you may be augmeting on the ropinirole. How much do you take? Symptoms starting earlier in the day is one of the main symptoms of augmentation.
