Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated and good to be able to talk with others.
I am still very apprehensive re taking ropinerole as the possible side effects scare the living daylights out of me especially suddenly falling asleep. I need to be able to drive as my disabled son lives quite a way away from me and not easily accessible via public transport. I have been given domperamide for the possible sickness swo not overly concerned re that .
