Could Ropinirole And Melatonin Be The Cause For Brain Fog?
I took my ropinirole and added 3mg of melatonin las night. It has taken me all day to think straight again after 10 hours of sleep. Can these Med s be taken together or did something else cause the brain fog. I m 70 years old and do wonder what s going on when I can t focus well

Yes, ropinirole and melatonin both cause sedation. If the combination had this effect on you, you should avoid it.
If your doctor has prescribed ropinirole, only take ropinirole. The same applies to melatonin.
Generally, elderly should avoid multiple medications; especially without consulting doctor.
Hope this answers your question.
