If you know a person with Parkinson's Disease who may be taking Mirapex, you might want to watch your wallet. They have determined that some people who take this drug have developed a compulsive gambling problem. As soon as the dosage was lowered or stopped, the gambling desire went away. Freaky, right? Some people are suing the drug company, of course. It seems to be easily fixed. The doctor just puts the patient on a lower dosage or changes to a different drug. But some people aren't reporting it because it's too embarrassing. Frankly, I'd rather be embarrassed than broke.
