Weight gain

Has anyone else experienced weight gain with Pramipexole? I've put on 7lbs in 10 days

I gained so much weight from being on ropinerole the last 8 years . Finanily got off it and never going back

I have recently put on weight and admit that after taking my pramipexol I have food cravings, especially sweet stuff. I will mention this to my doctor next visit. Do you get this too?

[scafftag in reply to Neil46]

No, if anything, I'm eating less than before, but the weight still piling on. Does seem to be one of the less common side-effects of pramipexole

That's interesting. I have been taking Pramipexole for about 2 years now and gained 4 Stones! I eat healthily but don't exercise because I have Arthritis in both knees so it's painful to walk. Is there an alternative medication for RLS that works?
