Thanks for having me.
Well, I heard about a case going through the courts in France.
So that involved a French man who's suing a pharmaceutical company, saying that they didn't properly warn him about side effects of the medications he was on.
He says that he developed compulsive sexual urges, what's known as hypersexuality, that ruined his relationship.
He also said that he had lost more than $100,000 to compulsive gambling.
I'd never heard about this before, and I couldn't believe that prescription medications could be that powerful.
So I wanted to know how widely are these drugs used and how common are these side effects?
Yeah, well, they're a family of drugs.
They were developed and manufactured by multiple companies.
These drugs are widely used for Parkinson's and then other conditions like restless leg syndrome.
and even in some cases, depression.
Now, the way they work is they boost dopamine activity in the brain.
So dopamine's this chemical that's vital in coordinating our smooth movements.
So the drugs can be really effective for Parkinson's sufferers that suffer from shakes and tremors.
But we also know dopamine as that key chemical in driving feelings of motivation and reward.
You know, the idea of the dopamine hit, right?
this need for instant gratification.
And it's thought that these drugs can overstimulate these feelings of motivation and reward.
Yeah, that's right.
You know, over 350 people in all have been in touch with us.
