Restless Legs Syndrome
"I was prescribed Mirapex for my Restless Leg Syndrome in 2004 and took it until April of 2006.  My dosage was increased to 1.5mg in August 2005.  In October 2005, my Brother and Mother took me to the Niagara Casino, until then, I had never stepped into a Casino before, I knew nothing about those places.  I won a jackpot.  Started buying scratch and win cards at one store, then getting more with the winnings or free ticket at another store. Our plant closed at the end of February 2006.  I started gambling and even thought of selling my Downtown condo and moving closer to the casino.  When I mentioned to the Dr that I was gambling, he said &quot;you&#039;re on Mirapex, stop taking it immediately&quot;. Turns out compulsive behavior is a side effect. All Okay now."
