Spontaneous orgasms during risperidone treatment in a schizophrenic patient: a case report

We present a case report of a male schizophrenic patient who suffered spontaneous orgasms after receiving risperidone. This is a phenomenon that has been previously described in relation to antidepressive drugs. The strong 5-HT2 antagonism of risperidone may be the mechanism responsible for an indirect enhancement of the dopaminergic transmission. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
