Iā€™m on Invega and my sex drive is non existent, my age might have something to do with it as well. Never had problems with abilify.

I am the opposite as wellā€¦
My sz made me feel even depressed from sex, but its mainly the illnessā€¦ Tbh, i would have preferred to like a bit more the sex now, cause i miss it too, so i work on that with efforts lolā€¦
I cant handle ads either, they just make me more agitated and paranoidā€¦ :confused:

I was hypersexual before sz and on low dose meds now. I had thoughts about walking nude in public and becoming a pornstar. I did sex with my gf in public places like parks in the bushes, cinema parking, church parking, etc cops caught us once, they saw us nude having sex. Idk why APs fix my hypersexuality eventhough its not a sz symptom. Is it brain damage?

AP cause reduced libido as a side effect so it makes sense it would reduce ur hypersexuality. Not because hypersexuality is a symptom of schizophrenia but because reduced sex drive is a side effects of APs

I wanted to have sex in church confession cabin and on mall roof but my gf refused, I think I would be a pornstar if I wasnā€™t on meds

Did you guys ever have sex in public? It felt good I felt like I was a pornstar, I wanted to film myself with my gf having sex and upload it to porn website but my gf said no, you can make money on onlyfans by uploading your own porn and be a celebrity

I had this experience when I was on antidepressants. Totally manic. My doctor put me on Lamictal as a mood stabilizer.

Itā€™s not uncommon to have hypersexuality or having problems controlling sexuality. Sex addicts anonymous is proof of that.

I think for myself meddling with porn or exessive sexual activity can trigger psychosis, so Iā€™m avoiding that.

I think sex is a private thing for many people, maybe thatā€™s why your friend got upset.

I have talked about sex with friends, but only in broad strokes, nothing detailed.

Yeah, you got to respect your friends wishes, or the friendship might come apart.

I had a friend who used to call me every single day on the phone even though he didnā€™t really have anything to talk about. I told him many times to stop, but he just kept calling. It was very intense for me these calls, eventually it contributed to ending the friendship.

It depends how you started the conversation. But it seems like an immature dude. I can talk about sex with my friends np.
