I don't get that, I guess I have not paid close enough attention to the details of the commercials, just the "Restless leg" parts.....Does it say that the med may increase compulsive behaviors???  Thats odd.

yea but they sure do advertise alcohol everywhere they possibly can and that kinda irks me. Ive got a booze addiction along with the opiates and it doesnt trigger me but there will come a time when they will im sure....

Yes...I've seen that.  It's pretty funny.  Perhaps they should have just said "compulsive behaviors".  They sure cover all their bases, don't they??  It's hilarious to me that pharmaceutical companies have commercials at all...I don't get what our medical system in this country has come to.
