I took Requip at 8 o'clock last night. I would have taken it at 6 o'clock, but one of the kids had a ballet recital last night and I didn't want to drive after taking the Requip. It hasn't caused me to be overly drowsy (until the next morning), but I didn't want to take any chances until I have more experience with it. Unlike yesterday morning where I felt awake by 7 o'clock, today 7 o'clock found me very drowsy. Now I'm "just" very groggy. It seems I need to take Requip at least twelve hours before I need to be awake.
I still have yet to call the sleep doctor. It seems I'm tolerating the Requip well; HOWEVER, it's not helping me feel less sleepy. Is that a success?? If so, it seems a rather pointless one.
I made it through yesterday without a nap, although there were several times I very much wanted to nap. I hadn't used much caffeine in the last few days (despite remembering when I blogged, I'd forgotten by the time I made it to the kitchen), so two cups of coffee helped when I felt tired.
I didn't experience any RLS symptoms yesterday, despite being sleepy. That's a definite improvement. I wonder if the caffeine has anything to do with it.
