At breaking point trying to get clear of Ropinirole.

I’ve been on ropinrole for restless legs/perodic limb movement disorder for many many years. A doctor explained augmentation and I’ve been reducing with GP help while slightly increasing my pregablin which I’m on anyway.

I’ve made it down from 500 to 0 ropinrole thanks to my doc.

I’ve been 4 days free. BUT my god am i suffering at night. When jeesing the toilet legs have me awake then
It’s usually a good 2/3 hours before it calms so i can sleep.

I’m exhausted and ready to give up.
(I’m disabled and on a fair amount of independant medication)

Any help is massively appreciated.

Edit: I should add I’ve tried the sock round the foot thing. I can also at times feel the agitated nerves. Such as if I scratch an itch lower body that fires the nerves and triggers symptoms)
