Impulse Control Disorders: The Shocking Side Effect Nobody Talks About
Parkinson’s can steal your movement — but sometimes, the medication can steal your judgment.
In this episode of Living with Parkinson’s: The Good, the Bad, and the Reality, I’m uncovering one of the most shocking and least talked-about side effects of Parkinson’s treatment: Impulse Control Disorders (ICDs).
We’ll talk about how Parkinson’s medications — especially dopamine agonists — can sometimes lead to urges that feel completely out of character:
🎰 Gambling
🛒 Overspending or compulsive shopping
🍪 Binge eating
🔥 Sudden hypersexuality
🕹️ Obsessive hobbies or online behaviors
The scary part? It can happen years after starting your meds — even if everything seemed fine before.
I’ll share real community stories, red flags to watch for, and what to do if it happens to you or someone you love. Most importantly, we’ll talk about how awareness and honesty can prevent heartbreak before it happens.
Stick around to the end for a Bryce-ism that’ll make you rethink how you look at your meds… and yourself.
