Restless Leg Syndrome

Has anyone seen the commercial for Mirapex, a drug that is supposed to alleviate the effects of Restless Leg Syndrome?  At the end of the commercial, the voice over basically tells you to consult your doctor if you experience an increase in gambling and/or sexual urges due to the consumption of Mirapex.  So not only do you have some bum leg disorder, now you run the increased risk of becoming a gambling addict and/or sex fiend.  What in the world?

 I really know nothing about Restless Leg Syndrome, and I am in no way trying to be unsympathetic to anyone who suffers from this disorder.  Of course, we are all accustomed to hearing medicinal disclaimers like “may cause death, destruction, etc.”, but gambling addiction was a new one for me.
