It's called Requip.
Oddly, it has proven to cause some rare side effects, like:
1) narcolepsy - even a year later with no prior episodes, while walking or driving .. BOOM! fast asleep.
2) compulsive gambling - a significant percentage developed gambling addictions while on this med, which remained unresolved at the publication of the study.
it's an interesting medication.
