I have no erection due to aps

Medications
1

What should I do? I told my psychiatrist and he said “we’ll see”

2

I tried some porn, not the slightest move by my penis.

3

Stick to one ap, add abilify as adjunctive to lower prolactin level

4

I was on 90mg abilify, didn’t help with psychosis

5

I got offered Viagra - when i had ED. But i turned it down, cos i havent been with a partner for years anyway. I didnt see the point.

Now I have a partner, an ex of mine, we are together again. She wants sex, I can’t offer it. I don’t like viagra, I need natural erection

I feel sorry for you. You are on multiple meds right? Your prolactin must be high. And your testosterone low. Maybe hormone injections will help.

I have the same problem, kind of. Even tho im on low dosage of meds my erections felt weaker. Anyways i usually take viagra when i want to have some adult fun. Since you dont want it that way, maybe ask for hormone theapy like suggested. Tho im not sure how extra testerone will help.

Did you do drugs? Stick to clozapine alone and ask for ect maybe. Explain to your psych that multiple ap isn’t helpful

I will have blood test tomorrow for my clozapine, should I check prolactin level? Can it get checked with blood test?

That’s a little creepy, what did he mean by that, what does he want to see?

Lol. The point is that he doesn’t know which med causes the dysfunction. How can he know?

All anti psychotic meds cause sexual dysfunction. Some worse than others, but they all do it.

Normally, with me anyways - they check for prolactin in the blood test as a matter of course. Im having a LFT done as well - cos my knackered liver.

My prolactins always low on the Paliperadone (Invega) 100mg jab. Tits would make me look silly on my skinny body lol.

Effects like that can go away sometimes. Show the pdoc that you’re willing to follow his instructions, and then ask them if they will change your med’s. All the ap’s diminish us in one way or another. Even the ap’s I find that are the best for me weaken me physically. It sucks, but there is no alternative.
