When i was on Mirapex, my sleep patterns or lack there of were very similar to what you mentioned. I could go without sleep for a couple days. I just got off Mirapex and switched to Requip XL. I see a major change in my sleep patterns. It is so wonderful to feel sleepy and actually sleep for 5-6hrs every night. Mirapex-induced insomnia and other compulsive behaviors are almost gone within a month of switching to Requip. However, does anyone know what Requip XL is capable of doing????
