This may or may not be of help: I take Mirapex. to stop the sleep attacks, I cut my dosage from 2.5 mg three times daily to 1.25 times three plus 1.25 mg of Requip times three. it seems to work for me. The sleep attacks were not like you describe. I would just suddenly find I was falling asleep. I have fainted twice. It was from Ventricular Fibrillation (A very deadly heart problem), I lived only because each time it happened I was with a Cardiologist. But it was not like your passing-out phenomena either.
