No I didn't drink water with it so that may make the difference. Today I took a second teaspoon at 1:00 PM and am still on at 7:00 PM. I think I will try a fourth requip now and see if I coast on in to bed.

Your capsules plus water worked well, though, so maybe mucuna plus apple sauce plus water would work fine.
