Ironically was reading a report on the net last nite of a man treated for schizophrenia...numerous hospitalizations, non compliant with haldol,etc.Was treated with increasing doses of seroquell was released from hospital, but complaints started to come in to his social worker of, i believe public masterbation.when re-admitted he complained of spontaneous ejaculations periodicaly, and a strong feeling of sexual arousal amenable to frequent masturbation.Main point is that it was a)dose dependant, and b) hypothesized it had to do with seroquel acting at a different d2 sub receptor (along with clozaril and one other atypical)as opposed to most other old or new anti-psychotics.It seems instead of decreasing sex drive, at the proper dose was robustly doing the opposite! I think this article was by S. Preskorn, not sure. Wouldn't take too much pondering to come up with a possible explanation for this prison phenomenom!
