Tremors are characterized by involuntary rhythmic shaking movement in different regions of the body. Tremors can manifest in various forms and have various causes, including the use of drugs such as lithium and antipsychotic medication. In a clinical setting, it is vital to understand the varieties of tremors presented and administer the appropriate pharmacotherapy needed. We present a case of a patient that has been experiencing fine tremors while on antipsychotics and lithium medication for the past year. We address differentiating the tremors while proposing managing the effects based on their mechanisms of action.

Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) disorder is generally characterized by recurrent and intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, and behaviors that cause individual distress or impair daily functioning. CSB has significant consequences, including but not limited to personal distress, depression, anxiety, and a high risk of sexually transmitted diseases. CSB is often seen along with other psychiatric disorders, most commonly with major depressive and substance use disorders.A primary goal of treatment for CSB is to help manage the uncontrollable impulses and urges a patient endures by reducing excessive sexual behavior with the use of psychotherapy, self-help groups, and medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs are well-known for their pharmacotherapeutic role in many psychiatric and medical conditions; however, symptoms of hyposexuality are notable side effects.Here we report our findings on a patient, a 36-year-old male who classified himself as a sex addict since late adolescence, participating in various forms of sexual-related activities at high frequency. He presented to the outpatient clinic for treatment for depression alongside his CSB. He was successfully treated with an SSRI, fluoxetine.
