Looking up side effects sometimes does not show weight gain issues
but looking up something like ...." bananas weight gain side effects" is specific enough to produce information.

In your case:
"does pramipexole cause weight gain" google search was instructive.

I stopped one med for that reason, and the doc admitted ..."well, some people have had that side effect"
AFTER I bought the drug and used it for 5 days.
So now I look stuff up before I pick up any new script.
