Hypersexuality

I had pretty weird encounters due to this and in fact I could not function at all during certain period of my life due to it. I would say out of all the symptoms this is underrated. Either for Bipolar or Schizoaffective I guess this can be devastating. Not sure if it is part of any other illness. It is kind of similar to drug addiction. It keeps lingering in mind always. Not sure if regular medications can stop this. But at some point when I had severe mania or psychosis they gave 4-5 meds per day that is the only time I lost sexual energy for few months. But when tapered it comes back.

Am I correct here or anyone have different thoughts or facts on this?

Man I’ve struggled with hyper sexuality for a while. I think it’s finally in remission tho. I was out of control man… I still watch porn but I’m no longer addicted like I use to be

I am only on Lithium now and don’t take APs as I am not psychotic for more than a year. I crave for sex a lot some times but sometimes I am able to control. It’s like twice in a week or so I get the urge. Maybe it is normal but due to past poor lifestyle I am not able to manage it well.
