Hi i do care for your concern.
The drug ropinirol is used for treating tremors in parkinson's disease.
The dosage that you have mentioned is a higher dose and kindly verify with your physician at the earliest.
Usually it takes about two weeks to show reduction in symptoms, and dosage titration may be needed according to symptoms.
considering age of your mother, the care provided by you will be more than any medicines can do.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
