A 51-year-old Frenchman says the drug he was taking to combat his Parkinson’s Disease turned him into a “compulsive gay sex addict.”
He says the GlaxoSmithKline drug Requip, which Didier Jambart took between 2003-2005 was to blame, and he’s suing.
Jambart claimed he was raped when engaging in risky behaviours, and even began exposing himself on the internet and cross-dressing, reports CBS News.
The married father of two also lost his family’s life savings on internet gambling, and tried to commit suicide three times following has actions which he says he was unable to control.
A warning label on Requip now says some of its users “developed gambling problems or other intense urges or behaviors that were compulsive or unusual for them, such as increased sexual urges or behaviors,” but that warning was displayed a year after Jambart stopped taking the drug.
He is seeking $610,000 US dollars.
