I often experience the same drowsiness at the same time of day. BTW, I am
not on Requip. I do suggest that your two CR's, taken whole and alone,
would not cover your requirements for the full day. The seven hour
interval in the morning is substantial, a longer period than the pill is
normally intended to cover.
Others on this list can speak far more authoritatively to this point than
I. I defer to their judgement, and hope that you will get definitive
advice from one of us.

Jeanette, if you feel that you want to talk to your neuro for any reason,
call him/her, don't let the nurse line stop you, and don't take no for an
answer. Because you follow this list you will be able to ask more
intelligent questions than you otherwise might have, questions that may be
hard for the neuro to answer, questions that might not even occur to the
'average bear.' So what? You are paying him and you deserve a prompt and
correct answer.
