  • Title: Hypersexuality--a complication of dopaminergic therapy in Parkinson's disease.
    Author: Vogel HP, Schiffter R.
    Journal: Pharmacopsychiatria; 1983 Jul; 16(4):107-10. PubMed ID: 6685318.
    Abstract:
    Hypersexuality induced by dopaminergic drug treatment in parkinsonian patients is a rarely reported side-effect. A case history is presented where it occurred together with hyperkinesias while the patient was treated with L-dopa and bromocriptine. An addictive misuse of these drugs complicate the guidance of this patient. Approximately three years after the beginning of hypersexuality he developed several paranoid-hallucinatory psychoses which subsided each time upon dose reduction.
