Dear Ken, When I first started taking Requip, I would be fine until I got into my car and drove about 1 mile. I would become so SLEEPY! I would actually nod out. When I stopped my car, I would feel awake in a minute or two. I was very very lucky that I DID NOT have an accident. I would carry a bottle of water with a spray top to spray my face trying to keep awake. I guess my brain is now accustom to the dosage (2 mg) . I think it was the year 2000 that I started on Requip. Good Luck to you.
