requip

Does requip make you tired or sleepy?  I NEED SOMETHING, and my doctor was not on call today!  Any ideas?  I have my kids during the day, and I can't be knocked out by things!

requip and mirapex work on the levels of dopamine.... If you find yourself while taking it  having some OCB or developing a gambling/shopping behaviour, you'd better stop taking it.

SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, trouble sleeping, constipation, unusual weakness, stomach upset and pain, headache or dry mouth may occur. If these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. To relieve dry mouth, suck on (sugarless) hard candy or ice chips, chew (sugarless) gum, drink water or use saliva substitute. Report promptly: hallucinations

These are the side effects of Requip....So you probably wouldn't want to take it in the daytime when the kids are up and running around.
I would take it at night before ya go to bed, when the kids are all asleep.
