Headaches from meds
Posted , 3 users are following.
I notice many people take ropinirole in doseages of larger mgs 1, 2 3, etc. I have found from the beginning of using this med (we call it Requip) that I always end up with a headache every morning when I wake up. Had the same result only 100 times worse with Neupro patch - stopped immediately. I now take 1/2 of a .25 mg in the evening with Robaxin (muscle relaxant) and Norco (pain med). Often have to get up and take another (1/2 a couple of hours later) but it does seem to help when used with the Robaxin/Norco cocktail. Just wondering if anyone else gets these miserable headaches from ropinirole or the Neupro patch??

"Brain fog", as it's often called, is a very common, almost universal, adverse effect of ropinirole.

Quite a while now since I was on Ropinorole or Neupro but I seem to remember headaches at the start but I think they receded after a while. Difficult to put it down to the drugs as I am prone to bad heads when my sleep has been disturbed and that is quite often with RLS! Just gone thro' my notes and I was taking Feverfew tablets at the time and that helped reduce the heads. Also noted that heads were bad when I came off Neupro!
Good luck!
