So I’m on Aripipazole 12mg and 6mg. Basically ablify.
Zotepine 25mg not used in many countries.
Haloperidol decanoate 150mg per four weeks.
Also a shed load of sleeping pills.
My labido has gone to zero.
Any meds I can try or cut back on the ones I am on.
Does anyone have an idea of what is causing the lack of action?
Talk to your pdoc about it. Personally, I think a strong sex drive is a mixed blessing.
Thanks @crimby . In this country pysc meds are with the pysc dr. Any other problems you have to see another dr specializing in that problem.
Last June I got four tablets for E,D thinking that would help. Well it did for five hours and back to feeling nothing, labido gone and interest and concentration on anything has gone. But I’d like my labido back and hopefully my happiness and interest in everything else as before.
Has anyone been through this and got it all back. Or am I burnt out? Thank you for your advice and replies,
My libido is a lot less - and im sorta grateful for it. Lusting over men or women you cant have - can be stressful. I dont even blame the drugs. I just think its my age.
That said i know it can be important for young people. I was randy as hell for years when i was younger.
If its important to you - maybe your doc could adjust your dose?
How old are you?
Zotepine raises prolactin. But at this small dose I wonder? I think haloperidol does it too. And sleeping pills obviously don’t help.
Yeah true. But what im trying to say is, i can take it or leave it 
Abilify doesn’t cause sexual dysfunction or low libido on the other hand Hadol and Zotepine do.
Since I’ve been taking Wellbutrin I’ve noticed that my sexual dysfunction from Zyprexa has gone away and my libido is higher but still not normal.
I’m only 44 and married. So I feel sorry for my wife too.
I take zotepine only when I feel like things are getting difficult so not daily.
It’s kind of embarrassing but I will ask my psy dr. And then again with an E.D dr again. Just hoping to get advice. I’m not ready to reduce meds as I’ve been feeling steady fora few months. It just my labido side effect I’m bothered about.
Take some Ginseng or Ashwagandha.
Did you test your testosterone?
Oh I’ve got diabetes too and my a1c is around 7.0 after years of it being 5.3
I think @Cragger is on testosterone shots and its helps libido.
@aziz not yet. The problem is I never thought it was a side affect of sz meds. But whichever dr I bring it up with I will ask for testosterone test.
Thank you @aziz you’re giving me the tips I need.
i became suicidal due to the sexual side effects of risperdal…I understand your plight…I got on generic prolixin…fluphenazine…no sexual side effects and I lost all my weight too. don’t give up…work with your pdoc.
@jukebox thank you for your reply.
I can understand what you went through. For me it’s not only sexual disfunction but lack of motivation for many things.
I just didn’t rock the boat with the pdoc. As he is doing well to get me stable. I just don’t want to sacrifice that part of my life. But if it’s one or the other I’d rather be mentally stable.
you may feel that way now…I accepted it at first…but slowly I degraded to being disgusted with life…sex is vital to me…I need it…I crave it…I MUST have it…so it’s not that way with me.
Yes @Aziz I was put on testosterone shots, 0.5 mg once per week for depression. It works like a charm. The return of libido is a nice bonus
I’m not depressed at the moment. I used to be but with the help of meds I’m alright.
A shot once a week you say. Sounds promising but I only see the pdoc. Once a month and my diabetes dr. Every two months. So it seems difficult just for that shot. But I will check and see as the dr I saw for E.D may do the shot and that dr isn’t so busy most of the time.
I’ve tried levitra 20mg and it does as it says on the label.
But it doesn’t change my labido for the rest of the time.
I will go back and see the dr who prescribed it and ask for something different,
Thanks to everyone who was brave enough to answer.
