Fluvoxamine Induced Priapism: an unusual case report

Abstract

Antidepressants are usually associated with sexual side effects such as reduced sexual desire, erectile dysfunction or delayed ejaculation, impotence and orgasm problems. In the literatures, there are four reported cases including increased libido due to fluvoxamine use. But, there aren't any case report about priapism due to fluvoxamine. We aimed to discuss our case diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, occuring increased libido and prolonged painful erection after the use of fluvoxamine.
