I started on a 1mg Neupro patch a couple of weeks ago with no relief at all. My doctor recently increased my dosage to 2 mg, but I still have no relief-constant jerking of knees and sometimes shoulders and very, very little sleep. I recently had radiation for prostate cancer and need to get lots of sleep, but I am not. I am at my wit's end and don't know what to do! Thank you for listening! HELP!!!
Neupro patch is just not working for me!?

I have pretty severe RLS and find that Ropinirole works quite well for me.
Thanks so much Lisa01. I took ropinirole for many years... so long in fact that the therapeutic effects became severely diminished. Thanks so much for your kind offer of help though!
