Ropinirole dose has to be gradually reduced and withdrawn. Abrupt stopping of drug is not desirable.
I would have reduced the daily dose by 0.5 mg at weekly intervals. Close observation to record any increase in symptoms of restless leg syndrome should also be done.
I hope the above information helps you. Please discuss the stopping of ropinirole with your prescribing doctor and then proceed. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day.
