Pledge is correct.I'm wondering if its fluid retention, it does have that side effect and it would happen fairly rapidly.

Hello nnimbkar. Weight increase or decrease is not listed as a side effect to taking Ropinirole, I used several sources and no mention of weight is listed, although it very well might be. Side effects to taking a drug are noted during clinical trials, and are then listed as such when the product is put on the market. Regards pledge
