Cathy, I take LOTS of naps with requip. Some planned and some not planned. :-) Between that and the nausea I have developed a real 'love, hate' relationship with this drug. I love that it does help with my PD symptoms of rigidity and slowness and restless legs, but I HATE the side effects. I currently take 3mg, 3x day, along with Sinemet CR 25/100 3xday and Selegiline 5mg 1xday . My off time is starting to increase and I know when I go back to the neurologist he is going to suggest increasing my Requip and i have already decided that I can't do it. I just can't deal with anymore of it. I know he is not going to want to increase my Sinemet and I certainly understand that, so I hope he has a plan "B" that will work. In this day of modern medicine I'm sure there is something out there to try! So welcome to our sleepy little world! We're glad to have you on board!

I was diagnosed with PD a year ago at age 53. I am taking Requip 3 times daily and Selegiline 2 times a day. I am also and RN. I was wondering if any one else who takes these drugs has an overwhelming urge to take a nap about an hour after taking them. The drugs seem to be helping my other symptoms (restless leg syndrome, rigidity and slowness) Interestingly, I only notice the fatigue after taking the morning dose and not after the later doses. Thanks, and forgive me if this topic has been previously addressed. I'll quit now as I need a nap!
