User Comments about Requip
19 Jul 2010 Side effects are a trade off this drug has given me my life back and controlled my symptoms well for 5yrs

16 Sep 2009 This drug is the difference between whether I sleep or not.. If I forget or do not take it, because I am out of it, I do NOT sleep at all, until about 4-5 am. I LOVE this drug and for me, it has virtually NO side effects.

30 Jan 2009 Even at the highest recommended dose, it doesn't work a full 24 hours. It does cause extreme drowsiness about 30 minutes to an hour after taking, so I take mine at bedtime. It is also quite expensive if you don't have insurance.
