Man claims drug made him gay sex addict -- and friends back him up are behind him all the way.

FTFY

No Boobies?

I'm sure his friends will get his back.

Jambart's attorney said his client attempted suicide three times after he lost his family's savings to Internet gambling and stole money for his habit.

Lawsuit hmmm? I smell vulturior motives.

This is just more evidence that gayness is a choice. Thanks, Fox News. You're doing a valuable service.

I'm calling shananigans. GAY shananigans. Too much GAY shananigans.

READ THE FARKING ARTICLE:

Among other label warnings, the National Institutes of Health lists these precautions for the drug Requip, which is also used to treat restless legs syndrome:

• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an urge to gamble that was difficult to control and if you have or have ever had unexpected daytime sleepiness or a sleep disorder other than restless legs syndrome; high or low blood pressure; a psychotic disorder (mental illness that causes abnormal thinking or perceptions); or heart, liver, or kidney disease

• You should know that some people who took medications such as ropinirole developed gambling problems or other intense urges or behaviors that were compulsive or unusual for them, such as increased sexual urges or behaviors. There is not enough information to tell whether the people developed these problems because they took the medication or for other reasons. Call your doctor if you have an urge to gamble that is difficult to control, you have intense urges, or you are unable to control your behavior.

Jambart's attorney said these warnings only appeared on the drug's label in 2006, after his client stopped taking the medicine.
Glaxo would not comment to the AFP on the case.

His case seems legit as fark to me.

(From farking Wiki...)

Side effects

Ropinirole can cause nausea, dizziness, hallucinations, orthostatic hypotension, and sudden sleep attacks during the daytime. Rarer and more unusual side effects specific to D3-preferring agonists such as ropinirole and pramipexole can include hypersexuality and compulsive gambling, even in patients without a prior history of these behaviours.[6]



So it's documented.
He doesn't have a case.
Sucks to be him.. Or.. Well.. You know.

Have you ever sucked dick for weed?

The side effects were so bad, that emergency services were called in.

/lemon party

If I buy Glaxo the yarn, will they make one for me, too?

/Old joke.

Didier Jambart? Come on. I mean, I know he's French, but what kind of farking name is that?

/a french one... I guess.

That sounds awesome. Anyone else want a prescription to start putting in their bosses' coffee every morning?

Ya know the pills are made from monkey cum

I think he was taking coxsuckerol succinate. Powerful stuff, that.

GacysBasement: I'm calling shananigans. GAY shananigans. Too much GAY shananigans.

That's it, the next one of you farkers to say "shenanigans" is getting pistol-whipped!

FTFA: Jambart alleges he also became a "compulsive gay sex addict and began exposing himself on the Internet and cross-dressing." Jambart's attorney said these antics led his client to be raped.


*snort!*

C'mon, who didn't find that funny?

Restless penis syndrome.

wood_stones: READ THE FARKING ARTICLE:

What, and cut down on the sheer entertainment value of people giving authoritative opinions about things which -- seemingly by sheer force of will and dedication to the Zen of Stupid -- they know fark-all about?

Dude, my buzz, you are harshing it.

Did the drug also cause him to search for scapegoats for his personal problems, file frivolous lawsuits against innocent parties, and just generally turn him into a whiny, overbearing crybaby?

/YES?!?!? You're kidding me, I made all that stuff up.

Human beings are naturally perverse creatures. Humans sexuality is matter conditioning.

he done caught the gay

put him down?

Unlike subby's mom, I'm not swallowing it...

I'm only buying this if the drug is soley administered as an 8 inch suppository.

Can't... stop... looking...

Yea, but he's a Franco-douche, much less ridiculous when that fact is included...thinking in medico-legal terms we might be talking about a 'pre-existing-condition'

//what a 'pre-existing-condition' might look like

I was on a drug that did something similar. I went from not gambling at all to going to the casino every day and sometimes several times a day. Lost thousands of dollars. Started withdrawing from my 401k. Ate a pound of M&Ms every day. Started drinking regularly. Told myself every day that I was going to stop the behavior but couldn't. Stopped taking the drug and within 4 weeks everything had returned to normal. Haven't even had the desire to do those things again.

So yeah, it happens.

As farked up as this sounds, there may be a precedent. I am not trying to say that this drug made the man gay, but medications for Parkinson's Disease have been shown to occasionally have adverse reactions on compulsive behavior due to their close correlation with dopamine. As Parkinson's is the result of insufficient dopamine in the brain, many treatments (including ReQuip) involve boosting the levels of this chemical. Dopamine, in addition to being tied to the motor receptors (which is why individuals with Parkinson's have difficulty controlling movement) it is also closely tied to the brain's pleasure centers. May I suggest the Radiolab episode "Stochasticity" which has a fascinating story about a woman who became a compulsive gambler after her own treatments.

Heck, I want some of that for my wife.....

that shiat ain't right

Franco: Human beings are naturally perverse creatures. Humans sexuality is matter conditioning.

What in God's holy name are you blathering about?

/White is WHITE Steven!
//Since when Russ, since WHEN!

You know there's a Back to the Future joke in there somewhere.

if this were the case, they would be able to make a drug that would straighten out the gay.

So maybe it intensifies what is already within your persona. Something tells me that this guys ass had been used as a pincushion prior to this medication.

cats4rent: if this were the case, they would be able to make a drug that would straighten out the gay.

Apparently is straightened out one part of his anatomy...

the aforementioned warnings weren't put on the packages until 2006...after the guy had stopped taking the drug in 2005....me thinks Glaxo will be writing a rather large check to make Didier disappear...

/seriously, those are some farked up side effects....

You see that, gay people?
You only crave teh ghey sechs because you have too much ropinirole in your system.

Polly Ester: You see that, gay people?
You only crave teh ghey sechs because you have too much ropinirole in your system.

So... Wait. Hold on a second. Being happy makes you more gay. Am I reading this right? So being too gay(1) makes you too gay(2).

So this guy with Parkinson's is blaming the drug? Hell, playing nonstop craps and dishing out awesome hand jobs seems perfectly normal.

Polly Ester: You see that, gay people?

I think it's pronounced 'rope-in-hole'...

So, were you top or bottom? You neglected the most important aspect of the story.
