Some of the PD drugs can cause that problem. You might want to try something different. Talk to your neurologist.

Amazon loves my lack of impulse control. I never talked to my therapist about it so I cannot advise. So far I don't order if there is no money. If I have an order, I have to trim it down. My "saved for later" item list is VERY long. Wonder if all those things will ever get ordered. There have been computer speakers on there for quite awhile. I decided to get a lap top, so I can remove them from the list. Of course the decision to get a different computer computer was pretty impulsive.
