  • Title: Treatment of compulsive sexual behaviour with clomipramine and valproic acid.
    Author: Gulsun M, Gulcat Z, Aydin H.
    Journal: Clin Drug Investig; 2007; 27(3):219-23. PubMed ID: 17305416.
    Abstract:
    The concepts of compulsive sexual behaviour or sexual addiction and treatment of the disorder have been argued over by many investigators. From a scientific point of view, both concepts are still not well established in psychiatric nomenclature. On the other hand, authors point out that compulsive sexual behaviour, obsessive-compulsive disorder and substance addiction show similarities in symptomatology and response to treatment. In this article, the case of a 21-year-old female exhibiting compulsive sexual behaviour since childhood who was treated with a combination of clomipramine and valproic acid is presented and discussed in the light of the relevant literature.
