Has Anyone Taking Pramipexole Had Bad Side Effects From It?

I was given a low dose, half a 0.25 mg tablet, for severe restless leg syndrome, ant worked immediately. I had to double the dose after a few weeks.
My specialist said he knew patients who became obsessed with gambling and lost everything, caused by the meds.#
( if I had to tell my wife that I gambled and lost the house, PD would be the least of my problems,)

I hope you get some relief from the painful shoulders. I get painful muscle contracture in my left arm and my thighs. At times I can barely walk, which makes it extremely difficult to care for my husband, who is a stroke patient and also in treatment for esophageal cancer. I'm seeing my neurologist next Thursday in follow-up. Hopefully he'll have some answers!🙏

I take the carb/levo and one dose of Pramipexole. It just made me nauseous but I have problems with my shoulders and arms aching and the Pramipexole seems to help. But I don’t know why since no doctor so far is addressing the arms issue and that is why I initially went to a neurologist. I’m going back to my movement/neurologist on Thursday. I’m going to bring that up again.

Thanks for that. I suffered very bad side effects and had to stop it after 3 days of taking it!
