British man wins £70,000 settlement for medication-induced gambling and shopping addiction.
A 66-year-old British man, Philip Stevens, received a £70,000 settlement from his doctor after developing compulsive gambling and shopping habits due to the side effects of Ropinirole, a medication prescribed for restless leg syndrome.
Stevens was not warned about potential side effects, including impulse control disorders, leading to thousands spent on gambling and excessive shopping.
He experienced withdrawal symptoms like exhaustion and paranoia after stopping the medication.
The settlement was agreed without the doctor admitting liability.
