Brief Answer:
Get investigated and take treatment as advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Restless leg syndrome can have associated iron deficiency.
Get complete iron profile and take iron supplementation if found to be low. In such a case the response may be sustained.
Ropinirole dose can be reduced if you are having severe depression.
Alternatively, you can take pramipexole for restless leg syndrome.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.

Thank you,
Blood test already taken and all normal.
I tried reducing the dose of ripinirol but the reduced dose did not settle the symptoms.
Also I tried taking the other medication you mentioned and did not settle the symptoms.
