Medication leads to Gambling

Some medications can change the way we think and act. Medicine prescribed for Parkinson's can change people in such a way that it changes their personalities. These changes can lead to addiction. When not feeling like ourselves, we're more prone to addiction, finding things to fill our emptiness. Gambling and sex addictions can fill this new void in some people.

I've heard this before. If you think about it, it's kind of sad. To fight one disease you can get another.

Did you guys hear that the first lawsuit actually made it to court against Mirapex? The plaintiff was awarded 8.2 million! Maybe the company will take a better look at their medicine so not so many people suffer from a gambling addiction.
