Does chlordesmethyldiazepam have a specific anti-erotic effect? Report on five observations.

Five observations in adult subjects (4 female, 1 male) in which the administration of chlordesmethyldiazepam (2-4 mg/day) alone, or in association with other psychodrugs has demonstrated a specific anti-erotic action, with a short therapeutic latency period, reversible, and not found in other benzodiazepines (chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, lorazepam, flunitrazepam, prazepam) which the patients had previously taken, are presented in detail. One of the cases was diagnosed with Clérambault Syndrome of seven years' duration [Acta psychiat. belg., 82, 555-564 (1982)].
