Hi @red1863,

A warm welcome to the forum.

Hypersexuality is a type of impulsive and compulsive behaviour which is a common side affect to different types of Parkinson’s medication, particularly Levodopa so you’re definitely not alone on this. You can find more information on the Parkinson’s UK website here.

This topic has been explored on previous threads and whilst we encourage our members to speak candidly about how Parkinson’s affects, we also encourage our members to keep it appropriate when addressing topics of this nature. Please see our T&C’s for further information.

I’m sure you’ll receive a lot of support from your fellow members and we look forward to seeing you around on the forum. :slight_smile:

Best wishes,
Reah
