This is a dopamine agonist. Serious adverse effects can include impulse control disorders such as compulsive gambling, sex, eating and shopping. Also orthostatic hypertension which means risk of fainting with uncontrolled falls.

It works well for restless leg syndrome, but I take a very low dose. If it stops working I will go off it for the reasons Park Bear mentioned.

I have been taking low dose for a year now and find it hasn’t helped much. About an hour after I take it my nose gets stuffed up badly.
