[QUOTE="Osidge, post: 331939, member: 17302"] Rob I have done some research and on another forum someone was on Requip (ropinirole) which helped them. It is a drug usually given to people with Parkinson's Disease or Restless Legs Syndrome. I also found this info on Requip: "Population Subgroups: Renal and Hepatic Impairment: Based on population pharmacokinetics, no clinically significant differences were observed in the pharmacokinetics of ropinirole in Parkinsonian patients with moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance between 30 to 50 mL/min; n=18, mean age 74 years) compared to age-matched patients with creatinine clearance above 50 mL/min (n=44, mean age 70 years). Therefore, no dosage adjustment is necessary in Parkinsonian patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (see Precautions and Dosage). The use of ropinirole in patients with severe renal impairment or hepatic impairment has not been studied. Administration of ropinirole to such patients is not recommended (see Precautions and Dosage). " It may be something that you want to talk to your specialist about. Take care Doug [/QUOTE]
