I haven’t found anything to help my sexual dysfunction. I’m female and 28 years old. My sex drive is non-existent. I even tried Addyi (“female Viagra”) but it didn’t do squat.
I wish you better luck than I have with this side effect.
I hate this side effect. It’s one of the major reasons on coming off of clozapine. When I was on it alone I had no sex drive. Since adding Abilify and lowering the clozapine my sex drive is returning slightly and In hoping it continues to go up when I finally stop the clozapine
As soon as I started taking aps I totally lost interest in sex. I don’t care either I use to make bad choices when it came to sex so I’m glad it’s no longer a part of my life.
Yeah, there isn’t anything else for me to try, that my doctors are aware of.
I’m also mostly med resistant with AP’s, and I just upped my Latuda to 80mg. I’ve tried so many meds… I just need to stick with this one. At least for a while until more AP’s come to the market.
It really sucks, but I’d rather have my sanity than my sexual function. Hard tradeoff, but worth it.
Hopefully, someday, I’ll be able to be sane AND have sexual function.
Im 52 years old… Have had a lot of girlfriends and sex. I don’t know if im ready to give up sex. But maybe. But I understand you. Love is hurtful, sex is a messy and complicated thing. It’s easier without.
I have a high sex drive and I am on the worst medication for that lol Risperidone 6mg. My testosterone is low and my prolactin is double the max limit yet it didnt affect me. I had extreme hypersexuality on Abilify, was painful physically and mentally, sex ocd.
