Worried about gambling addiction. Taking Pramipexole.

The likelihood that an individual will develop compulsive behaviors on pramipexole is generally low. Compulsive gambling, spending, and sexual activity have all been reported. If you and your wife decide to go to Atlantic City there are some ground rules you may want to adopt as a precaution. First, don’t gamble alone. Your wife should accompany you whenever you are on the casino floor. Second, agree to an amount you are willing to lose before you go. Your wife will need to be comfortable being the enforcer here. Third, no credit or debit cards can be used to access money for gambling. Leave them locked in a safe in your room! Finally, and most important, if you or your wife notice other changes in your behavior (agitation, insomnia, spending etc.) call your doctor immediately and be prepared to leave early.
