“Parkinson’s drug made me addicted to gambling”

Today, the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline is taken to court by a 51-year-old father of two from France, he claimed that the drug he has used from the British company to relieve the symptoms of his Parkinson’s disease has turned him into a compulsive gambler addicted to gay sex.

The lawyers of Didier Jambart, say his behavior changed radically after he first started using the drug Requip in 2003 to relieve the symptoms of his Parkinson’s decease. The first complaints that Didier suffered from were tremors, slowing of movements and speech disrupts. Didier said he had tried to commit suicide three times after using the drug, he became addicted to gambling and Internet casinos and began to steal after he had lost all his money with his online casino addiction.

The lawyers of the man said Didier’s behavior became so extreme that he became addicted to gay sex, began to expose himself on the internet and started cross dressing. His risky escapades even led to the man getting raped, his lawyers said.

The bizarre behaviour stopped when Didier ended the use of the drug Requip in 2005, but the damages were already done. He was demoted in his defence ministry job, and suffered from a psychological trauma due to his casino gambling and sex addiction. Didier Jambart is seeking 385,000 pounds in damages from GlaxoSmithKline, he accuses them of selling a ‘defect’ drug sales, and his neurologist for not adequately informing him about the side effects of the drug. The drug Requip is known for its undesirable side effects for a long time, but warnings about these side effects only appeared on the packaging in 2006. GlaxoSmithKline was not willing to leave a comment.
