| Several years ago, doctors at the Mayo Clinic noticed something odd about some of their patients with Parkinson's disease. Soon after starting a type of medication to reduce symptoms, people who had rarely or never gambled couldn't stop. For example, a 68-year-old man who had never gambled began compulsively gambling—losing $200,000 in six months—after he started taking a drug called Mirapex. But he stopped gambling when he quit taking the medication. |
