I sleep better, have less muscle soreness/stiffnes and RLS is gone

Most voted negative review

2 People found this comment helpful

I have used Neopro since August of 2012 after having RLS since 2006 and trying various other medicines. Overl Neuopro had been the best at relieving my RLS symptoms than one other medicine. However, the patch can fall of very easily and for me it works better on certain parts of the body more so than others leading to more movement on than part of the body which may give the patch a chance to fall...

I've been using Neupro patches for 8 weeks. (First 1mg, then 2 mg) The patch wouldn't stay on, so I got Dimora transparent dressings from Amazon. Works well. Been using 3 mg patch 2 nights. Up ALL night each night. Very frustrating. Will try them for 1 month. No medication side effects.

Have RLS and this drug saved my sanity. Exhausted other medications and natural remedies . I do have a problem with site irritation, but not bad enough to stop this medication.

I see many people here have trouble getting the patch to stick. I had that problem too, but if I covered it with bandaids the adhesive of the bandaids or the patch triggered a sensitive skin problem. I am going to look into the transparent cover others mentioned, but I have discovered a way to keep the patch stuck on me: I find a fatty place, stick it on, then very lightly rub the patch in a circular motion with three fingers for an entire minute, making sure my fingers have contact with the patch and none of the corners or edges lift. (if they do just keep lightly rubbing them down) So,this has the effect of warming the adhesive as soon as I apply the patch, and it stays on even in the shower.Read More Read Less

If you are having a hard time getting the patch to stick I have a few suggestions that I have learned over wearing a patch everyday for the last 22yrs. Position is key, applying it to the center of either buttock cheek, on the fatty part approximately 2 to 3" below belly button and make sure there is no hair there. Avoid tight clothing or clothing that rubs. If patch comes off lay on a heating pad as this will help will help warm up the adhesive so it sticks again. Lastly applying a tagaderm over the patch will help some but find that once it does come off it is hard to get back on when a tagaderm/patch folds up, sticks on itself or rolls on itself!

Patches don't always stick well- which is a problem since they need to stick for 24 hrs. Effective treatment for my RLS once I got up to a high enough dose.

Patches are a beating. They don’t stay on well and the recommended rotation is not convenient. In my case, they irritated my skin to the point I had to discontinue use. While on the drug, it seemed moderately effective.

I love it. I sleep better than ever,I like the apathy because Iam happier.I have very few motor symptoms, but constipation is a problem.I have been on it for about 2 years, but think I had it for about 2 years before because of chronic constipation. I have Sleep delay syndrome, so I now sleep so much better.

I started on 2mg patches for RLS almost 4 years ago. I have since been increased to 3mg. These patches have made A HUGE difference in my RLS symptoms. Only drawback for me is the adherence of the patch itself. Some areas work better. No weight gain or any other bad side effects. Would definitely recommend to try at least.

After being on 4mg of Requip for 3 years, my doctor recommended Neupro. The Requip worked if I fell asleep right away but insomnia prevented that so it really only worked marginally. I started on 1mg of Neupro then added a second patch the next night and have slept peacefully and restfully on 2mg. I have noticed my face itching and strangely, if I place the patches on my thighs rather than my arms or shoulders, the itching is quite a bit less. No tongue or throat swelling or itching, just along my jawline and cheeks. I've only been taking it a week so I can't speak to other longer term side effects yet, but I will take the itchy face if it means I can actually sleep.Read More Read Less

I was on it for six months. At first it was a dream come true for my severe case of RLS. But during summer especially I had a great deal of trouble getting the patches to stick. They have a very narrow temperature storage range and may have lost adhesion due to being delivered by mail in hot weather. I solved that by covering the patches with Areza Transparent Adhesive Wound Dressing Bandages - worked great. But once I got them to adhere well the itching and skin irritation got worse (due to the Neupro, not the outside bandages). Worse, though, was that I got swelling in my feet once my needed dose of 8-10mg/day was reached. I was tested for possible causes and none were found. I had never had any problem prior; swelling started abruptly one day and I have had that and some numbness in my feet for four months straight now. It is a listed side effect for Neupro; I stopped the Neupro 2 weeks ago and returned to my prior med, Mirapex. So far my feet are still swollen and numb. I don't know if the numbness and swelling will eventually resolve or not. I'm gradually losing hope. Read More Read Less

Although it stops the very bad case of restless leg syndrome I have, I get a rash under the patch the itches and I nbn have gained a good amount of weight while being on it. I'm lucky to get 3-4 hrs of sleep a night and that's with taking ambien plus muscle relaxers

Taken for RLS about 6 months along with a regimen of 5mg oxycodone. Am up to using 4 mg patch. Must use Flexifix over it to get it to stay on. Was told the medication would still work with this type of covering, otherwise are not to completely cover it up. flexifix transparent film is only thing that gets it to stay stuck on my body all day. I buy a 4" width by 11yd roll online, then cut that into 3 inch pieces. It is very easy to apply over the patch. Patches are Too expensive to lose or replace many days in a month. The 2 drugs I use together control RLS fairly well. Neupro by itself does not work. Although I can tell if I removed a patch before shower and forgot to replace though within an hour. this drug combo is one of my last resorts. Have had many drug trials over the years, and my body gets used to them and stops working. Was told would not happen with a patch like this. I had obtained an exception to the formulary of my previous insurance to obtain this patch. I searched before 2018 and found a company that does cover it and switched to it. So check around if yours is not covered and you are using a Part D insurance company.Read More Read Less

I don't like the patches when the backing is on a diagonal cut. It is easier to apply when the backing is cut on a 90 degree angle.

The use of neupro has decreased tremors and stiffness, insomnia is the only concern yet the benefits outweigh side effects
