  • Title: Hypersexuality and paraphilia induced by selegiline in Parkinson's disease: report of 2 cases.
    Author: Shapiro MA, Chang YL, Munson SK, Okun MS, Fernandez HH.
    Journal: Parkinsonism Relat Disord; 2006 Sep; 12(6):392-5. PubMed ID: 16730214.
    Abstract:
    While hypersexuality and paraphilia are known side effects of anti-Parkinson medications, it is seldom reported. Furthermore, selegiline is rarely implicated in such behaviors. We report two cases of early onset PD who experienced paraphilia and hypersexuality when selegiline was initiated, and later developing obsessive-compulsive and punding behavior with the addition of dopamine agonists. Social repercussions may prohibit patients and/or their families from volunteering such information.
