My husband's consultant has cut his dose by half, from 16mg to 8 mg daily, and he's become almost immobile.
The effect has been devastating for both of us. Wondered if anyone else had experience of this?

My new consultant doesnt like agonists and reduced my ropinerol. It was horrid. DAWS isn't talked about much at all and seems little recognised. I stumbled across information on a forum thank goodness. realised what was happening. There doesn't seem to be much research yet. Here is one article.

PUK also has an info sheet on their site and looking for it I found this information.

If you follow the link in the text you will see that it seems PUK have a campaign around DAWS!
The closing paragraph reads "If you're affected by this issue and would like some help and support, you can contact our confidential helpline 0808 800 0303. "
