For Periodic Limb Movement Disorder "The game changer for me is the slow release XL, much less side effects. I do sometimes top up with 1 mg of normal ropinirole before bed, and then feel the side effects. Would recommend 4 mg XL slow release for RLS."

For Periodic Limb Movement Disorder "I have been taking Requip XL (ropinirole) for about 4 years now, and it has helped me tremendously. I take it at night so that I can go to sleep, otherwise, the RLS tends to keep me wide awake for a long time. Once I do take the medication, I give it about 15 minutes, and then it makes it where I can lay down and go on to sleep. If I did not have this, I would not be able to sleep at all. The only thing I am experiencing right now is that I had to have total knee replacement, and with this surgery, I do seem to be having more spasms from the surgery, so it is taking longer to take effect than normal, otherwise, I have not had any issues."

For Parkinson's Disease "Requip has given me four years of regained fine motor skills, word retrieval, and executive functioning. It has been the only medicine I have taken for my Parkinson's disease. The disease marches on, but I can drive, work with young children, and take care of myself. I have been blessed, even though each day I can feel the loss of automaticity and coordination. Requip has caused narcolepsy and visual hallucinations that have been quite unique, not scary!"
