Make sure you take note of the possible side effects, which include the development of compulsive behaviours e.g. overeating, gambling, compulsive shopping.

If you feel that your thinking and behaviour is changing in this way, make sure you speak about it with your doctor.

So far it is believed that relatively small numbers of people are so affected so it may not happen to you. You should be aware, however.

All the best
That explains my need to shop...wait until I tell my DH...he will be relieved.lol

I take Requip and have for a number of years...I take it at night only and can't tell I have any type of moderate side effects. I can tell when I don't take it for a few days...

Good luck...
