Re: Question regarding Requip--Sleep Attacks

[Schaaf Angus / Meadow Creek Ranch <sangusr@xxxxxxxx>]

Requip can do that. I used Requip for a time but quit it due to "sleep
attacks". My drowiness would come on even in the middle of a sentence. I
went completely to sleep. After the last "sleep attack" coming home from
work and ending up in the ditch , my wife figured enough was enough. She had
to come get me with the tractor to pull me out of the marsh grass and mud.
Luckily I was only two miles from home. You should be able to find out more
about Requip "stories" on line. It wasnt a side effect we were willing to
tolerate.  Rob
