> I've suddenly put on 20 pounds in 3 months.. The only new thing in my life is mirapex. My doctor says it doesnt cause weight gain...but he says that about everything. Plus I know he has not prescribed it much for bipolar.
Does anyone have any experience with this drug and its weight gaining potential?
I really like Todd's explanation.The only odd exception is compulsive eating. This can occur at the higher dosages used to treat Parkinsons. It is a phenomenon similar to the compulsive gambling that has recently been identified. It can be minimized with dosage reductions.
