I think I have obsessive behavior and it is a really serious issue for many people. And it is probably annoying you all.

My hwp definitely buys too much. Started after starting Park meds .. I go take stuff back to Amazon frequently 🤦‍♀️

I was like this when I was taking too much Levodopa and a dopamine agonist. My family had an intervention and got me off the agonist and now I hardly shop. I also have reduced Levodopa, which by itself is addictive and results in obsessive behavior.

yes. I find it interesting however that some obsessions are acceptable, even applauded, while others deemed abhorrent. I have been working with a therapist about priorities and self care., just being really hyper vigilant about all this sense I started Neupro. But when I was on Rytary I churned out endless amounts of poetry and about 5 chapter of a memoir before my meds changed. The research is quite clear about this issue, yet i know noone that is regularly screened for this. people tend to blame the agonists when its a known side effect of all the dopaminergic agents.
