I have been on Requip for four years, + or -, the period of the SKB study. It has always made me sleepy. I once took a day's dose (9 mg, I believe) and slept in my car for 45 minutes. Yawning is frequently incessant, along with watery eyes. I've not tied it down to a time of day, but memory tells me around noon is the worst. Maybe including a "NoDoz" in the noon dosage would be useful! By the way, I am on 5 mgx3, eldepryl my only other P drug.
