Hi Laura,

Thanks for the reply.

I spoke to my mother this afternoon and she said that the Requip XL makes her very sleepy. After performing some reading, this seems to be a very common side effect of the Requip XL. I said to her that I would guess that she probably does not realize any "extended relief" from taking the Requip XL if she is feeling sleepy after taking the medicine, and she agreed.

She said she is going to continue to take the medicine until the 20-day supply or so is expired. I do not know if the sleepiness will eventually go away. I suppose we will have to contact the doctor via telephone and inform her fairly shortly if the medicine does not help.

Just an update.

Thanks,

Matt
