• 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]

  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]
