Reviews for Ropinirole to treat Periodic Limb Movement Disorder

Review by Gerry F: User Rating:  
   
9.0

Requip (ropinirole): I am a 73 year old male. I have sufered from periodic leg movement most of my life. Lately it has been getting worse to the point that it could take me hours to fall asleep. In addition to that, I have been having nightmares in which I try to protect myself from some threat. My defense was to punch my wife on the arm. I have also experienced sleep walking. I had been taking to sleeping in the spare bedroom so that my wife could get some sleep. This was not a solution that suited either one of us. When I began taking Requip I experienced relief from the very first night. I now routinely sleep the whole night through without nightmares or restless legs/periodic limp movenent.

Requip (ropinirole): I have used Requip for several years for Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, and couldn't do without it. If I don't take it, I can sleep, but wake up frequently and feel more tired in the morning than I did at night. I have gradually had to increase my dose over the years, from 0.75 to 1 mg.

ropinirole: I thank God for the invention of the Restless Legs Syndrome medicines I take. I actually sleep and my RLS is relieved. I am in pain without my medicines.

Requip (ropinirole): This medication actually worsened my symptoms and the MD kept raising the dose until I had symptoms during the day. Then she finally listened to me and took me off this medication.
