How many of you have a normal and healthy erection time and ejaculation while on medication?

One major side effect of anti psychotic is sexual problems. I have problem where I cannot hold the erection for long and semen is not coming out as it used to… its coming out in very low quantities.

So those who are on anti psychotic … is there anyone who DOESNT have these problems?

Are you trying to get someone pregnant? Why does the amount of semen matter?

Are you on risperdal? I’m on abilify 20 mg and I’m pretty normal I think sexually.

There isn’t as much pleasure really. If you can’t come as much :rofl::joy::sweat_smile:

My psychiatrist refuses to take me off of risperidone.

Yes risperidone can cause sexual dysfunction.
It does for me.

I have found that ssri’s cause me more problems than antipsychotics.

I had issues from the meds. some notable differences was I started getting morning wood again after not getting that for years. also I was getting off way faster than before and with less semen. it wasn’t even satisfying so I recently just gave it up for a year.

if I was trying to get someone pregnant I would get off the meds. I feel like it lessens my sperm quality.

Just to clarify, there is the same feeling of “relief” when you reach climax and barely anything comes out. But not as much pleasure…

““Are you trying to get someone pregnant? Why does the amount of semen matter?””

No it’s got nothing to do with that it’s just that a good and healthy sexual life means side effects are at bay including mood disorders …

I am on Invega Sustenna injection 75 mg once a month.

What happened when you gave it up for a year … By giving up …you mean meds?

I prefer when meds kill my sex drive. Life is easier.

But it’s not so if you will get married in the future … Its a problem then.

But I am married? We just only have sex a couple times a year.

Men peak sexually at 18. Women at 30 or so I believe. It’s all downhill for men after 18 sexually. If I was 18 It would have been good to lose my sex drive. Then again 18 year olds are stubborn and dumb often. A women in her 30s can probably make a wiser decision on her sexual feelings in these horny years :relieved:. Idk maybe this is crazy thinking but a theory I just pondered on :thinking:

You are lucky to have an understanding partner.

all i get is droplets. I have no idea if i could get a girl pregnant successfully with just droplets if I ever want to have a kid.

sometimes I only get like one or two droplets.

maybe if i stopped for a while the fluid would have time to build up. I have not tested this yet.

I am saying this by experience. I stopped meds 3 times and got admitted four times into hospital… Every time i stopped meds my sexual life became normal in a couple of weeks and I felt good but it’s a dangerous path to stop meds.

no I mean im going to give up on sex for a year. if I get a girlfriend which is unlikely I would consider going off meds. actually ill probably go off the meds eventually anyways, I feel there no good for my physical health, evidenced by the sexual side effects.

Do you think you can live normally without meds?
