Pathological gambling behaviour: emergence secondary to treatment of Parkinson's disease with dopaminergic agents

S Seedat et al. Depress Anxiety. 2000.

Abstract

We present a case in which the use of low dose risperidone (a potent D2 and 5-HT2 antagonist) was successful in controlling gambling behaviour secondary to dopamine agonist treatment of Parkinson's disease. Pharmacotherapeutic management of pathological gambling secondary to medical causes deserves further study.
