Anyone experience any issues with gambling or sexual impulsive stuff from ropinerole?

[quirkyme in reply to Merzem]

my husband hasn't experienced this but his neurologist asks him every time. When he went on it in 2007, he started increasing the dose very gradually so that might have helped his body get used to it.

[mommajo in reply to Merzem]

My husband started buying all sorts of crazy, expensive stuff on Ebay and other online places around Christmas. He was impulsive, and couldn't seem to help himself. Decreased his ropinerole from 4mg 3x to 2mg 3x and the difference was astounding. He was also having hallucinations (the "waking dream" kind), and they tapered off with the med decrease, too.

[mommajo in reply to mommajo]

He also has a porn addiction that I would assume fits into the sexually impulsive category, since his disease has robbed him of his sexual function.

[soup in reply to mommajo]

Has he consulted anybody for this function problem? The little blue pills work well for many.
