Does Taking Pramipexole 0.25 Mg Causes Sleep Walking?

Approximately 11/2 to 2 hours after taking Pramipexole 0.25 mg for restless leg, my husband seems to be sleep walking even to the extent that last evening he came into the kitchen put a pan on the cooktop, turned on the flame, took bread out of the refrigerator, opened the bag then walked away and went back into his office. Awhile later he came out and found the pan quite hot and the bread sitting on the counter. Is this an untoward affect of taking this medication. He has no memory of doing this. This is at least the second episode that we can for sure document. He has been taking this medication for a little over a year. Thank you.

Hello,

It is not related to pramipexole.

If symptoms persists better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
