I had sexual dysfunction on invega. I took it for fourteen years. It’s not really noticeable so much on perphenazine. After the switch I was super turned on all the time. I think cause it was suppressed for so long. After a while I kinda leveled out. My amitriptyline causes very minor sexual dysfunction. I’m sure if I got off all meds it would come back full force. I used to get off invega all the time and within a week I was back.
Whoops lol! Sorry! lol. Thats what i get for not reading a thread properly lol. x
2mg Risperidone and 40mg Citalopram. I don’t know why but I literally have no side effects down there. Even have a normal libido and even a stronger one if I don’t take for one day.
I wish I had no libido, it’s annoying.
Pfff just a week!? Im off 3 weeks now and still no libido, genital numbness, no improvements…
Wish we could trade then haha
Thats ok still thanks for advice
Interesting. I’m on 3 mg of Risperdal and 20 mg of Citalopram and the both of them just kill my libido and sexual capability.
Not at all i get hard sometimes when watching tv and seeing a womens lingerie commercial lol. There have been times ive fapped and finished in under 2 minutes, its like over stimulated feeling
I guess you always get what you don’t want.
Ofcourse its missing! Very much so…
Is this skinny me’s new account?
You mean my account? No… never had an account here before:)
8 weeks off meds now still experiencing the same problems and no improvements… Got all my hormones checked, prolactin was a bit low now instead off being too high while i was on AP’s, but there was nothing unusual that should be causing this problem.
My doctors don’t know whats wrong, want to send me to a sex therapist but on the PSSD forum i have not read a single successful story on this. Thats because it is likely some sort of brain damage, nerve damage and/or epigenetic damage…. There is no cure, just have to wait it out and see if it gets any better or not…. Sigh.
I have never had problems with APs making my privates numb. Too high a dose makes my head numb. Blah.
Well you’re lucky i suppose…
Really scared i will never be able to experience sexual pleasure again
I think your diagnosis and meds play a part
Not lucky, I just have different problems. I don’t let them stop me.
Oh well, good you stay positive at least!
This illness will eat you alive if you don’t.
It’s been bad on zyprexa. I tried abilify one day and that increased libido a lot. Unfortunately I got a lot of other crazy side effects from it that made it unsuitable.
I have been off meds for brief periods in the past and libido has come back, so I know it’s med related.
Some supplements have been slightly helpful on meds, like oyster extract.
