Brief Answer:
Consider drugs combinations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Since your symptoms are getting worse with the use of Ropinirole alone, in my opinion, another drug that is used to treat RLS should be added to your treatment.

Besides Ropinirole you can use Gabapentin or Clonazepam for example .

Discuss with your Doctor about adding one of these drugs.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
