Boehringer Ingelheim makes the most prescribed agonist, Mirapex. The company told us in a statement that two years ago it started warning in its package inserts about reports of compulsive gambling and that it is working with Parkinson's experts to "investigate the relationship, if any, between Parkinson's drugs and compulsive behavior."
The company suggested we call two of those experts. Drs. Matthew Stern and Daniel Weintraub at the University of Pennsylvania. Surprisingly, both doctors told us there is no question the drugs are behind the compulsive behavior.
