* Most characters in ''Manga/SoulEater'' who go through a FaceHeelTurn starts to suffer from quick deterioration of their mental faculties soon after, which is not at all surprising, considering that a FaceHeelTurn in this series usually means giving in to [[TheCorruption insanity]]. Examples include [[spoiler: Franken Stein]] in the anime; [[spoiler: Justin Law and Crona]] in the manga; and, obviously, [[BigBad Kishin Asura]] in both.

* During the Alien Costume StoryArc, Franchise/SpiderMan becomes addicted to the power and freedom the ComicBook/{{Venom}} symbiote gave him... until he learned that it exacerbated his aggressive tendencies and would've absorbed him into itself in the long run. Peter Parker managed to "quit" the symbiote, but his successor, Eddie Brock, wasn't so lucky. Note that this wasn't actually a part of the original comic book version, [[LostInImitation but has appeared in all the adaptations]]. Brock '''seems''' to be better, now. At the moment. Sort of. Meanwhile, under the symbiote's influence, Mac Gargan has crawled up the food chain of evil, in more ways than one. A few hosts later, Eddie is currently reunited with Venom, although over the years the symbiote stopped being a bad influence and became much more benevolent.

* In ''VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles'', [[spoiler:BigBad Saito Sejima was born with a brain defect that made him unable to produce oxytocin (the hormone associated with love and pleasure) except when killing. This is what made him become a SerialKiller, as it was the only way he could feel any positive emotions. Due to BodySurfing shenanigans, Saito ends up in a body that does secrete healthy amounts of oxytocin, but at this point he's addicted to the stronger rush his original brain gave him from killing, and only wants to return to his own body so he can continue killing for fun. Meanwhile, the one who ended up in Saito's body is prevented from becoming AxCrazy thanks to synthetic oxycotin (which tragically proves that Saito's condition could have been treated if he had received proper care).]]

* ''Fanfic/YourAlicornIsInAnotherCastle'' gives Bowser an extra-nasty version of this, in that he didn't even have to make the choice in the first place. He simply was given (or acquired, or something) the destined role of Princess Kidnapper, and when he quite naturally refused to kidnap Princesses he was plagued with intrusive thoughts and other withdrawal-esque symptoms.
