I cover ropinirole (Requip) side effects in this video.
Ropinirole is a prescription medication used to treat Parkinson's Disease and Restless Leg Syndrome. I first cover HOW ropinirole works in your body which will help you understand how/why these particular side effects occur.
Towards the end of the video I cover one of the more problematic and worrisome side effects. If you or a loved one are taking - or thinking of taking - ropinirole be sure to watch that.

I've tried this off-label for anhedonic depression and it worked (including anxiolytic effects) but it gave me too much drowsiness along with orthostatic hypotension even in a low dose (0.25mg) but it worked faster than pramipexole (i.e. 3 days for a good response vs 7 days for pramipexole). (Ropinirole was originally developed as an antihypertensive drug according to an abstract on PubMed) I've read that ropinirole also targets the sigma-1 receptor, unlike pramipexole and some newer treatments that target this receptor result in a more rapid response to depression. I have found pramipexole to be much more tolerable and I have no more depression or panic attacks. I do get sleep attacks if I'm sitting - so I don't drive - but it's worth it because I otherwise have excellent quality of life.

I am suffering from neuropathy in my legs from lymphedema of my legs.The pain was so bad I couldn't stand it and of course I couldn't sleep. I am not used to taking a lot of medication however I'm a chronic back pain with awful thoracic and lumbar pain so I do take zanaflex for awful muscle. I eat very very low carbohydrates and higher protein and fat which seems to help with the inflammation. I have only been taking this drug for 3 days and the pain in my legs have stopped. I am only taking 1mg.. it just concerns me and I wanted to know how long I can take this medication and if I stop will horrible pain in my legs come back. I really don't want to take this medication however I had to do something because the pain was unbearable and it kept me from sleeping and I didn't know what else to do. Please help me if you can and thank you.

I have known patients to be on it long term. There’s no way to know if the pain will come back after you stop other than to try it. But you definitely want to do this with your doctors counsel

I am now taking 2 x 2mg daily and my RLS and PLMD are getting really bad. Even with sleeping tablets only manage 4 hours…some nights no sleep at all. Feel I am going mad and constantly crying. My doctor is Spanish and really doesn’t understand the syndrome

I have seen good results using PEMF for RLS. Also diet appears to play a role

I am on a low dos. For leg pain..HCL 1 MG TABLES.. I really don't want to take it anymore and I have been taken it once every three days or once every other. However it does help the pain in my legs.. I have lymphedema of my thighs and legs and ankles. How long can a person stay on this drug at this dosage..
