This is very serious stuff and well documented. Mirapex and, if I remember right, Requip, can cause suddden sleep 'attacks'. They come on suddenly and thus can happen at the worst of times (i.e. when driving). Recognize that most people who are taking Mirapex have Parkinsons. There may be a select population that is prone to this, but, as far as I know, it has not been identified yet.
BTW Josephine, why were you taking it for a sleeping disorder?
