Suggest Alternative Medicine For Pramipexole 0.5mg
I take pramipexole 0.5mg for rls and have for several years. I have read about the many side effects/addictions such as eating, sex, gambling and shopping, which I seem to have. Am I blaming it on that prescription or is it true? If so, what is an alternative prescription?

Hi
Pramipexole is effective in the treatment of restless legs syndrome.
Based on the history given you seem to have developed features suggestive of psychosis apparently caused by the drug Pramipexole.
You may need an alternative effective but safer medication like Gabapentin, Carbamazepine or benzodiazepine for the treatment of restless syndrome.
Hope this answers your query.
