| A
drug for Parkinson’s disease may cause users to start compulsively
gambling, according to a study. A large number of patents taking
the Parkinson’s drug Mirapex gambled so much that they
had financial problems.
Patients taking other drugs did not experience the excessive
gambling side effect. For patients taking Mirapex, the gambling
behavior got better when they switched to a different drug.
