  • Dysthymic Disorder

    The girl also presented with dysthymic disorder according to DSM-IV criteria, as confirmed by the semi-structured interview Kiddie-SADS-PL. The score on the Children Depression Inventory (CDI) was in the clinical range (21). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Suicidal Ideation

    IMPLICATIONS: The pooled datasets in this study were not designed to prospectively assess for suicidal ideation or behavior. Any future studies in this area should include the collection of prespecified, detailed information regarding suicidality. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Extrapyramidal Symptoms

    Ropinirole is prescribed for mainly Parkinson's disease, RLS and extrapyramidal symptoms. [en.wikipedia.org]

    As a result of its pharmacodynamic profile as a dopaminergic agonist, many psychiatrists prescribe Requip as an off-label intervention for patients with extrapyramidal symptoms (e.g. dystonia, akathisia, dyskinesia, etc.) caused by antipsychotics and [mentalhealthdaily.com]

  • Postural Instability

    Patients were eligible for enrollment if they presented with bradykinesia and at least tremor, rigidity, or postural instability. In addition, they must have been classified as Hoehn & Yahr Stage I-IV. [web.archive.org]

  • Nocturia

    Numerical improvements in 'off' time, awakenings and nocturias were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Switch from pramipexole or ropinirole to rotigotine (up to 14 mg/24 h) was feasible and possibly associated with some benefit. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Sinus Arrest

    In some patients in clinical studies, blood pressure changes were associated with orthostatic symptoms, bradycardia, and, in one case in a healthy volunteer, transient sinus arrest accompanied by syncope Label. [drugbank.ca]

    In some subjects, these changes were associated with the emergence of orthostatic symptoms, bradycardia and, in one case, transient sinus arrest with syncope. [web.archive.org]

  • Polyps

    In mice, there was an increase in benign uterine endometrial polyps at a dose of 50 mg/kg/day. The highest dose not associated with this observation (15 mg/kg/day) is three times the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m2 basis Label. [drugbank.ca]

Sixty-eight patients (23.1%) experienced treatment-related AEs. Six patients experienced serious AEs (SAEs), of which hallucination was determined to be a treatment-related SAE. There were no other significant safety findings. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
