Day 3 of Requip

Last night was the first 0.5mg pill. As with the first dose, I couldn't sleep until hours after I took it. It just so happened that the kids had a skating party in the evening where I was needed to drive. As I picked them up, a tornado warning was issued. Since I wasn't sure what to expect -- whether I was going to be tired or jittery or something else entirely -- I waited until after the weather quieted down. It was 9:45. I was awake until after 1am (again). When I did sleep, it was restless.

So far, today has been a day of being very tired and having no choice but to nap. Again.

One more side-effect has been my legs, and to a lesser extent my arms, feeling "funny". It's almost like a constant mild case of RLS in both arms and legs. My left knee was sore last night, too. My back doesn't hurt as bad, but it does feel sort-of "funny" in the same way my arms and legs do.
