Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Requip XL
Question: I have taken Requip XL 4MG Tablet, twice a day. I have most of the serious side effects; but, the one that bothers me is my lack of mobility. I cannot survive without these meds due to severe Restless Leg. Any ideas?
Brief Answer:
Get investigated as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Restless leg syndrome may be associated with iron deficiency and supplementation will be helpful.
Get a complete iron profile, vitamin D, vitamin B 12.
If pramipexole is not effective then continue ropinorole.
Additionally, gabapentin and pregabalin can be added.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further information.
