What Causes Pain In The Legs While On Ropinirole?
I just started taking Ropinirole .5mg. I take 2 at night before bed. I ve been having problems sleeping because of pain in my legs and RLS, so I sleep in a recliner. Since starting this just Monday, I ve slept better but today I fell asleep for 2 hours and woke up horrified that I had wet my pants. Could this be the cause?

Hi,
Leg pain is a common side effect of Ropinirole. The symptoms usually go away on its own in a few days. If the symptoms continue you should stop the treatment and consult your doctor for an alternative medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
