Rick and the cybergang-- I disagree wholeheartedly with your neurologist on the matter of drugs not causing you to wake up at three a.m. Permax did it for me; Parlodel did it for me; Mirapex, though not to an inordinate degree does it for me. I can't believe that the onset of such sleep patterns is not directly connected with these drugs when I titrated on and off them, my sleep shortened or lengthened in exact proportion. I would not worry when I woke up, but simply plan my day, pray, or reminisce, but I sure got tired the next day. Rick, if that's the only sign of depression you had, if I were you, I'd start looking closer at the meds, but I'm not a doctor so I won't tell you to. Kathy Kunz (63/57/55)
