Again, new package insert blurb. The only ideas I've come up with so far are "incidences of urges/cravings/desires and/or impulsive behavior have been reported...", but am sure there's a better solution out there somewhere.
Thanks in advance.

cases of urges and impulsive behaviour
It all depends on whether they are sexual or other.
envies could also be cravings or longings. Could be desire if sexual but then the French would say "désir"

Dr Sue Levy (X)
: it's compulsive behaviour in English//indeed, "impulsive behaviour" exists, but this is not what is being referred to here in this particular context

You're right Sue. I checked the Robert and in medical terminology the French impulsif = the English compulsive.

: are you sure? I know that anti-depressants can do that, although looking around on the net also throws up examples of "envies suicidaires"! Unless we have 'envies + definition" it would seem to be more along the lines of 'urges'...

for info
if you google the entire sentence....
Des cas d’envie et/ou de comportements impulsifs (attirance compulsive pour les jeux d’argent ou une augmentation des pulsions sexuelles) ont été rapportés. Si vous ou votre famille remarquez que vous développez de tels comportements inhabituels pendant votre traitement par ADARTREL, parlez-en à votre médecin. Votre médecin pourra décider de modifier ou d’arrêter votre traitement.

I'd go with your own suggestion or Anne's as the type of urge isn't defined.
