Restless Legs Syndrome
"This is in regards to my 83 year old father in law (FIL) and his taking pramipexole. He was switched to this med from ropinerole due to the same issues I am about to discuss.

The fine print of side effects are what he, and consequently my husband and I are now dealing with. &quot;...strong urges (such as increased gambling, increased sexual urges)...&quot;

Oh boy, this doesn&#039;t even come close. He does not see the problem, but when he is on either of these meds he is so far past being a dirty old man, I am shocked he&#039;s not been arrested yet. He is also belligerent and cannot be reasoned with. I am in the process of trying to get him changed again to something else. 

So, just a warning, if anyone sees this in yourself or someone else taking this."
