What Is The Maximum Dosage Of Ropinirole For Restless Legs?

I take Ropinirole for restless legs. There are nights when the pill I take doesn t seem to help and I am wondering if I can take another one when this happens such as tonight when I have been up pacing the floor for three hours. I am on a very low dosage.
