Rob, One of the side effects of Requip or Ropinirole is that it makes you sleepy. I love it because I was not sleeping at all. For years I have not gotten more than 3 to 5 hours of sleep a night, and that in less than one hour pieces. Now I can sleep almost 5 hours straight at night. I am getting some rest at last. It also makes me sleepy during the day, but I seem to be tolerating it well. I am taking 1mg (4X.25mg) 3 times a day. I also take one Sinemet CR 25/100 in the afternoon as evening is my hardest time. That is when I am most tired and seem to feel the tremor and other symptoms most. don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds [log in to unmask]
