I have been taking Requip for 5 years. Currently at 3 mgs 4 times per day. Yes I do have a sleepy period about 20 to 30 minutes after taking it however I have never had a problem with a "sleep attack" while driving or working as many have. I guess I'm one of those that tolerate it well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Schaaf Angus / Meadow Creek Ranch" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 8:02 AM Subject: Re: Question regarding Requip--Sleep Attacks > Requip can do that.
