I normally take Ropinirole for bad muscle twitches. Last week I collected a new box from the Pharmacy which came in a slightly different box with a different name on it. Not unusual since every time so far it has been different names, colours and shapes for the tablets.
After 5 days I felt quite unwell and my wife Googled the name on the box. Turns out that Risperidal is
not another name for Ropinirole, but is actually a strong anti-psychotic!!!
No wonder I felt a bit off-colour.
The muscle twitches have subsided now I'm back on the right stuff but the Dragons in the kitchen won't stop whispering in my ear. Should I tell the CAA?
