Does Pramipexole For Restless Leg Syndrome Cause Abdominal Pain?

I started taking Pramipexole 0.25 mg about a week ago. 1 half a pill for 1 week. I am still taking 1 half pill. Since I started I have been having a terrible stomach ache. I am taking it for restless leg. I keep having to run to the bathroom to sit on the toilet all the time with the stomach pain. Is that normal?

Hope my answer helped you,Thanks!
