Sinamet is classic for this--sex, gambling, etc

in reply tomovinngroovin

Sinamet does not do this to me I take it now with no bad affects

Requip did it

Mirapex is known for its sex, gambling,etc compulsions. I believe Requip and Mirapex are in the same category.

Most of what is reported about impulsive behaviour is attributed to dopamine agonists. Hardly ever do you read about sinemet causing it, but my experience is that it is a problem for some people. Changing from requip to sinemet to stop this behaviour did not work for my daughter. She also had DBS and we have been told some people experience compulsive behaviour as well.

when i was taking Requip i was 59 and having sex 3 to 4 times a night 7 days a week with my loving wife

her sex drive was also enhanced by just touching the meds when she gave them to me

this when on for almost a year

we have now been married 45 years

we have always been a sexual couple but 3 or 4 times a week was normal for us

we are now back to normal 3 or 4 times a week i am now 62 and she is 61
