My husband was diagnosed in 92 and also is having compulsive sexual problems--needs. Seems to get worse, not better. Very hard on me as you probably know. Have you got any ideas that might be worth a try? He is on carbadopa/levadopa 25/100, comptan, and pergolide. He is in his mid- sixties.

Does it have anything to do with the meds he is on? I remember my mom telling me that my dad would literally try to chase her around the living room after taking Carbidopa/Levo........he was diagnosed only about 3 years ago, when he was 77 years old, and has gone thru a multitude of meds, but the "chasing" seemed to stop when he went on a different med. His med was changed because of hallucinations, though, not because of the constant "need". DOn't know if I helped or not, just a thought.........Cathie67
