If there are any women on this forum who have been affected by Impulse Control Disorder ( impulse buying/gambling/hypersexuality/overeating) on dopamine agonists (Ropinirole, Pramipexole or Rotigitone) and were NOT warned by their doctors, the BBC are doing an article and film about this common side effect.The chief journalist now wants to talk to another 2 or 3 women on an anonymous basis.
If you have not already spoken to the BBC, and have been affected by ICD ( or know someone who has been affected & who is prepared to speak) can you please email:
noel.titheradge@bbc.co.uk
The more we raise awareness of this common side effect- the more likely we are to stop doctors prescribing dopamine agonists.
Thanks.
