HUH!??!?!

I just saw a TV commercial that threw me all out of whack. The ad was for a drug called Mirapex which is prescribed to treat "restless leg syndrome" - which by the way about everyone who knows me will tell you I must suffer from. The ad is your usual prescription medication spot with a woman's voice extolling the virtues of the drug. When she got to the side effects part of the script I thought I heard something. Rewound and replayed it just so I was sure about what I heard.

There is was...."Notify your doctor if you suffer from gambing, sexual urges or any other compulsive behavior." GAMBLING? They have a drug with gambling as a side effect? Is this for real? A quick Google search and here it is...Miraplex Class Action

The gambling side effect is funny, but how would one know if one were "suffer[ing]" from sexual urges? A sudden rash of unrequited love? Unconsummated relationships? A desire to hump your dog's leg in revenge? Can you really "suffer" from sexual urges? and if you did, would it be a good idea to "notify [your] doctor" of same?
