A percentage of Parkinson's patients taking dopamine agonists represent a particular population of people whose side effect wholly compromises any good that comes from taking the medication, inasmuch as pathological behavior in the form of gambling proves to instigate tremendous problems for the individuals and their families due to the impact upon their financial situation.
