The following is a letter to the editor that represents a case of recurrent priapism. The patient received clozapine, quetiapine and haloperidol and had the adverse reaction of priapism, one episode of which required surgical intervention. This case highlights the need for physicians to be aware of the potential for this serious adverse effect and to be especially mindful to carefully monitor those patients who have already had one episode of priapism as they may be at risk for recurrence.

Key Words: priapism • antipsychotics • clozapine • quetiapine • haloperiodol • adverse reaction • side effects
