Pramipexole &Lyrica

Not trying to be controversial, but is anyone experiencing hyper sex drive using these two drugs??

Pramipexole can do that, not lyrica.

Common with Pramipexole and there have been several class actions in the USA. Impulse Control Disorder has led people to lose their marriages and homes through gambling, over spending, affairs out of character. Your doctor should have warned you before prescribing and you can take legal action against your doctor and the drug company.

It also puts you at higher risk of DAWS ( dopamine agonist withdrawal syndrome).

It affects around 20%, probably higher because most people fail to report it.

I suggest you now research extensively and get off Pramipexole by reducing very, very slowly.

Find a knowledgeable RLS doctor who will prescribe meds to help you through withdrawal and meds to replace the Pramipexole

Didn’t happen to me but pramipexole is known for this in a subset of people.

Not sex but out of character spending! Once off Pramipexole, I just lost interest in the things that I thought I was SO interested in and just had to buy. Fortunately, I didn't go too overboard but still, on a low income, it has meant there was less to go round and now a lot of things that I really don't want.
