Is this pill HH 975 ropinirole a time released medication? I am drifting off to sleep during the day and wondered if this med is why. ## Hello, Lois! How are you? No, this is a regular release formulation, however, that doesn't mean that you may not continue to experience side effects, throughout the day. That is normal, as reported by the FDA, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, and headache. Typically, side effects are usually transient and go away, in a few weeks, once your body gets used to a medication. If not, or if they worsen, you should consult your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

Have gad my prescription filled 2x at same pharmacy. One is a roubd blue pill with HH on one side and 974 on other side. Other one is a blue oblong pill with H on one side and 87 on the other side. Could this be correct? ## Hi Donna, From what I could find, Ropinirole hydrochloride 1 mg tablets (with an imprint of HH on one side and 974 on the other) are pictured/depicted as being light green in color as opposed to blue, like you had mentioned. For verification, this particular pill is manufactured by a company called Solco Healthcare and carries a National Drug Code of 43547-0270. Concerning the other "blue oblong pill with H on one side and 87 on the other" - this tablet is pictured/depicted as being a 250mg Levetiracetam tablet, used for treating seizures. NOTE: The "H...

I'm having serious pain, was getting much stronger through physical therapy, began ropinirole and began to have severe pain, and wonder if ropinirole might have caused muscle weakness ## Hello, Steve! How are you? Yes, it can cause those types of symptoms as side effects in some people that take it. You may want to discuss going off of it for awhile, to see if things improve, if so, then you'll have your answer. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## something always seems to keep me from making an adjustment. I cut back to one a day from three, always one hour before bedtime. after two or three days of one, I had an attack of Restless leg, after taking three, it was still out of control and I tried 10-20 minutes on a Tens unit and that seems to have helped, or the ropinr...

I only sleep an hour or so, then I'm up with just the ropinirole and was just wondering if I could take aleve pm with it? ## What happens if you take aleve pm with ropinirole. Does it have the adverse effect ## Hello circlebv, According to the NIH there is a moderate interaction between ropinirole and aleve pm. The reaction is an increase of the side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and difficulty concentrating. The interaction itself is not dangerous but the results can increase the danger levels of situations you find yourself in such as not being able to drive yourself int he event of an emergency and also not being able to concentrate and injuring yourself. While the NIH does not state this as a severe interaction I strongly suggest that you discuss mixing these...

Ropinirole numbering "G" on one side - "2" above "55" on the other. What's the dosage. Been taking 2 Mg for years, got new supply with above numbering, took same dose had nausa, vomiting, hot flashes felt like an overdose. ## The tablets with this marking contain 1mg of Ropinirole, but there can be fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient in generic medications, so if you took 2, then you may have gotten a little more than your body is used to having, which may have caused the problems you experienced. Have you talked to the pharmacy? They may be able to order the ones in for you from the prior manufacturer.
