Dopamine agonists essentially mimic the behavior of dopamine in the brain. Dopamine helps the brain control movements, which is why patients with Parkinson's disease are prescribed dopamine agonists. Dopamine is also involved in the reward functions of the brain. The newest medications of this kind, pramipexole (Mirapex) and ropinirole (Requip), target the motivation, emotion, and reward centers of the brain. Researchers speculate the strong stimulation of those areas of the brain encourage patients to seek out pleasurable behaviors, like gambling.

Don't know if it's a disorder or not but all people want easy winnings and when they start losing they find hope in the thing that got them there in the first place.

Don’t know what to conclude from all this. It’s just kind of evocative, that’s all. I imagine a perfectly nice person with Restless Legs Syndrome finally finding relief. After a week or so, this quiet, twitchy person suddenly has turned into a gambling, voracious sex machine. He or she goes to the doctor. The doctor says, “You have to give up the drug and stop being a gambling, voracious sex machine and go back to being a twitchy, uncomfortable person who can’t sleep.”
What would you do? And how long do you think it will take them to isolate what’s wrong with the RLS medicine and turn it into something really marketable?
