My Medication

My Parkinson's medication is as follows:
5 tablets Requip 2mg daily - 2 tablets each before breakfast and lunch and 1 tablet before dinner2 tablets Sinemet CR daily - 1 tablet before breakfast, 1/2 tablet each before lunch and dinner1 tablet Jumex 5mg before breakfast
I feel drowsiness every time after taking the above medication. I could not drive. I am also easily irritated. I manage to relieve the above by keeping myself busy. Question:1. are the above side effects of my medication? OR2. am I experiencing the above due to wrong dosage of the above medication? FYI, I have seen a few specialists regarding this and some have advised me that the dosage is too strong whilst others have advised me that the dosage is sufficient.
Kindly advise.
