Suffering Peripheral Nephropathy, Taking Neurotin, Requip. Walks Floors Due To Tingles, Hurts. Right Medication ?
My name is AAAAA and my 81 yr. old Mother has been suffering from what a pain management called peripheral nepropathy- bad spelling. I think the medicine is all wrong and something else is going on. She has been taking Neurotin 5 capsules per day along with ReQuip 1 at bedtime. She walks the floors because it hurts, tingles, and other descriptions. she never gets a good night sleep I thought she should see an Neurologist.

Requip is Ropirinole for Restless Legs Syndrome. the dose is increased slowly. See a neurologist. They may change the medicine to see if some other salt helps. sometimes one has to try out one or two medicines too see which one helps. Others like Pregabalin or Gabapentin may help.
