I was in one of the original study groups on requuip and I am fmiliar with the falling asleep problem -- but only after I fell asleeep and ran into a tree. Fortunately no injuries except my car ws totalled. I now take Provigil to help stay awake except I have given up driving other than in town. An annoyance -- but better than the alternative Provigil seems to be effectve for me -- but not enough so that I am willing to take a chance. I take 1/2 tablet when I need to be alert --- in the morning -- and I have not really had more aleeplessness than usual but suspect it woould create problems to take it in the afternoon or evening Jack Stanfield ([log in to unmask]
