restless legs syndrome
"If I could I could do it over, I would have never started taking ropinirole almost 3 years ago.I've had lifelong RLS. It began to really disrupt my sleep a few years ago. My doctor gave me a prescription to relieve the severity of my symptoms. I began to sleep at night, and my legs were not jumping all day. However, the negative side affects creep up on you over time; they are even worse when coupled with existing depression, bi-polar, anxiety, PTSD, and other mood issues. I have gained at least 30 lbs in the last 3 years (and I exercise EVERY DAY).  Plus, when I run out of pills, and I can't get a refill in time, that means I CANNOT SLEEP. My new doc is helping me get off of ropinirole for good."
