Rotigotine

Hi everyone i have been asked to try NEUPRO rotigotine any views on this med

Hi, I’ve been on this for a year or so. No side effects apart from a bit itchy. I’m on a low dose though…I think it helps, but its hard to be sure

Mattboxer thx for your feedback

Hi mattboxer
Are u taking any other meds and what strength are your Rotigotine

Hi
I’m on Rotigotin. 12mg per day to help with the pain I experience in my lower back and thigh. I’ve been on 12mg a day since Boxing Day so early days yet.
I also take Sinemet Plus, Half Sinemet CR at night, Opicapone and Madopar Dispersible when needed but up to 4 times daily.

Hi manilow56 do u have any side effects from this medication

Hi, i tried them for near 3 months, started on 2mg patches, then upto 4mg patches. Didnt do anything for me, gave me dry mouth, headaches , restless sleep and vivid dreams. Made my tremors worse and restless legs when i came off them for about a week.

Hi all i have been on this drug for 3 days still no relief for restless legs does it take longer to work also have noticed feet swelling up and swallowing has changed

Hi again. No, I’ve had no side effects but I’m now doubting whether the patches are actually doing any good! Two steps forward and one back with this disease.

Hi all have been on this patch aboiut 10 days 2mg no difference ime sure patch is blank this rotigotine don’t seem right

Hello, my wife has been on this patch for about 10 years , she went from a 2 mg to-4 mg -6 mg to a 12 mg , the 12 was too much , she was best on a 8 mg , she could tell if she forget to put it on as due to stiffness.
All was good untill one day everything changed … as PD will over time and she got very bad hallucinations.
So she went from a 8 to a 6 to 4 mg and had to stop using them.
Apparently that’s what happens when you have been on this patch for some years , PD changes and the medication stops working the way it should …
