[Hypersexuality associated with aripiprazole: a new case and review of the literature].

We report the case of a patient with hypersexuality while he was treated with aripiprazole since 6 months. Clinical manifestations were an increased libido, unusual frequent masturbation and sexual instincts. All have resolved upon discontinuation of aripiprazole, and recurred after it was restarted. The partial dopaminergic agonist effect of aripiprazole could probably explain the occurrence of this compulsive behaviour.
