    Author: Adamou M, Hale AS.
    Journal: Acta Psychiatr Scand; 2003 Apr; 107(4):314-7. PubMed ID: 12662255.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe a never previously reported case of erotomania induced by venlafaxine and highlight the effect of antidepressants on the dopaminergic system. METHOD: A case of erotomania is described. RESULT: Erotomania occurring in two separate occasions developed after treatment with high doses of venlafaxine. The episode remitted only after lowering the dose of the venlafaxine. CONCLUSION: Erotomania may occur with agents such as antidepressants. The dopamine neurotransmission of mood can provide further evidence for the development of newer classes of antidepressants.
