I've been taking Requip XL 8mg tablets for about six months now to manage my Parkinson's symptoms. The extended-release feature has been a game-changer, as I only need to take it once a day. However, I've experienced some side effects that I'm concerned about. I've had episodes of excessive sweating and dizziness, which can be quite disruptive. I've also heard about the potential for more severe side effects, like hallucinations and sudden sleepiness, which is really worrying. Has anyone else had these experiences? Any tips on how to manage the side effects would be greatly appreciated. I'm also curious about how others are finding the medication overall and if the benefits outweigh the drawbacks for them.

I've been taking Requip 3mg Tablets for my restless legs syndrome for about a month now, and I've noticed that I've been feeling extremely sleepy during the day. I've even dozed off a couple of times during work. I'm worried about this sudden sleepiness, especially since it's dangerous to drive or operate machinery when feeling this way. I've read that Requip can cause drowsiness, but this feels more extreme. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what did you do about it? How quickly should I be concerned?
