New BBC report / Ropinirole

[missbish]

Just reading this article and although I’d heard of these impulsive behaviours I didn’t realise just how severe it could be.

It’s made me wonder if anyone here takes this drug and if so, has it affected you this way ?

I suffer occasionally from restless legs and I’m glad I’ve read this as I had no idea !

Yes I take this medication and it has made a huge improvement to my RLS and thankfully I haven't had any of the side effects. I'm aware that it isn't the first line of treatment for RLS now, I think they prefer gabapentin or pregablin, can't remember which one, but as I have been on Ropinerole for several years, they let me crack on. I am on a low dose though as that is all I need to manage my symptoms.
