Roprinerole
My husband who's 62 has been taking Roprinerole for 2 years. His dose is 24mg once a day. His behaviour is compulsive but he won't admit it. He works from home & can be in the office most of the day. He only has a tremor in his right hand. His look is very vacant, he's a bit stoopy & complains of backache but on the whole he is doing fine. Mowing the grass (we have a lot) No problems walking apart from being heavy on one foot. He buys lots of clothes but doesn't wear them. I don't begrudge him… read more
Have the doctor take him off this med immediately. He might not respond right away but he will I’ve been there for the compulsive behavior
I have noticed compulsive behaviour in myself, worse now than b4.
We are also short staffed here at convalescent home. Very frustrating
My wife found out I was having an online affair. We talked and I told my doctor I wanted to quit ropinerole and why. He told me the ropinerole couldn't be the problem because I had been on it for over four years .
I weaned myself off of the ropinerole over a three month time frame and the compulsive desire to watch pornography and have sex with strange women disappeared.
Today my wife and I laugh about it, because we know why.I was doing it . Good luck and God bless
Please talk to the doctor and have him get off ropinerole better known as requip. It almost ruined my marriage of 32 years, six years ago for the very same reasons you are describing
