yes they are?
yes as amphetamines
I have checked with a pharmacist friend, he said it is ok to take ativan (lorazepam) and requip (ropinirole) together.
They won't explode if you do, but you should contact your doctor whenever two medications are to be taken simultaneously.
After a trail period to see if the patient's body might adjust, decreases until hypersexuality is gone - or effect is inefficient, or cease medication and try an alternative would be the logical course.
Oh, dude, mixing Benadryl and ropinirole can make you feel drowsy and dizzy, like you just stumbled out of a comedy club at 2 am. It's like throwing a party in your brain that nobody wants to attend. So, yeah, maybe stick to one or the other unless you're really into that whole "spinning room" vibe.
No, it's action is dissimilar to such as valium or other common sedatives. It is being touted as a safe, non-addictive sleeping pill that can be used indefinitely with no problems at all... It is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Ropinirole is one of three medications approved by the FDA to treat restless leg syndrome.
I take Cymbalata total 60mg daily and ropinirole (generic for requip) .25 mg 3 tablets at bedtime. I have found my leg pain to be virtually gone. I do have lower back problems and RLS so these two are helping. I hope it stay this way.
There are two classes of the drugs: dopaminergics and anticholinergics. The dopaminergic drugs include the following: A: Levodopa drugs: such as levodopa and madopar B: Dopamine releasing agents (DRAs), such as amantadine and memantine C: Dopamine agonists, such as piribedil and pramipexoleD: MAO-B inhibitors,such as selegiline E: Catechol-O-methyl transferase(COMT) inhibitors: such as entacapone and tolcapone Anticholinergics include trihexyphenidyl, benztropine mesylate etc.
Side effects can develop at any time with any drug, which of course could happen with pramipexole as well. The most common side effects of Mirapex are: low blood pressure, involuntary movements, nausea, headaches, insomnia, drowsiness, dizziness and abnormal dreams. You would not want to abruptly discontinue pramipexole without consulting your physician.
Some of the more common side effects of pramipexole (Mirapexin) include:Changes in appetite and weightDizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when standing up (orthostatic hypotension)DrowsinessHallucinations (seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there)NauseaInsomniaTwitching, twisting, or other unusual body movementsUnusual tiredness or weaknessSeveral unusual adverse effects of pramipexole (and related D3-preferring dopamine agonist medications such as ropinirole) may include compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating,even in patients without any prior history of these behaviours. Other compulsive behaviors, such as excessive shopping and even cross-dressing, have been reported. These side effects are thought to be linked to the D3 activity of pramipexole, as D3 receptors are heavily expressed in brain regions involved in mood, behavior, and reward.

Activities such as eating, exercising, engaging in laughter or pleasurable experiences, listening to music, and experiencing social interactions can trigger the release of dopamine in the brain, contributing to feelings of pleasure and reward. Additionally, substances like drugs, alcohol, and even certain foods can also lead to a release of dopamine, leading to feelings of pleasure and reinforcement.
