I have had RLS since 2010 and take ropinirole twice daily. I do just fine with pill taken at 2pm but find the one at 7:30 or later makes my RLS worse for at least an hour to 1,5. before I can settle down to sleep. With my lifestyle. it is difficult for me to remember to take ropinirole before 7:30. Does anyone have a suggestion. I am hard of hearing and don't always hear phone alarm as a reminder.

      Thank you so much for your reply. It is something I will think about. I haven't worn a watch in years but it might work. It bothers me more that when I take the ropinirole my symptoms seem to flare up for the first hour but then I seem to settle down. I don't quite understand why since it is only the evening one that I notice that does that but that is also when I am quiet. I don't know about you but I really hate this disease and wish so much that it would just go away.
