Hopefully it will go away. I have had serious sexual disfunction on invega. Zyprexa still is better. but at peak time not being able to orgasm is a true let down
Oops, I’m taking Effexor. I thought my low libido problem was caused by Abilify, but it hasn’t improved since quitting Abilify 4 months ago. Worth discussin it with my pdoc thanks @Anna
I rather have no orgasms than hearing voices again. I know, I’m weird but don’t like having positive symptoms again, anyway I don’t have a gf so it’s better this way
Yeah, all the antipsychotic meds affects your libido, or the ability to reach an orgasm, or some may even cause impotence/infertility… in both men and women. The Xeplion (Invega/Paliperidone) affected me the most. I was, hardly, able to ejaculate but I could only get aroused while watching porn… so I stopped the treatment and refused to change them with other meds because the side effects are similar for all the antipsychotic meds. It took me about 2 years to recover (to be able to achieve an erection without porn), but my high libido/fertility never recovered to it’s initial status. It’s been 9 years since I took the treatment.
I haven’t took any antipsychotic medication in almost 9 years. Never been psychotic again. Never experienced symptoms of (paranoid) schizophrenia again. I was probably misdiagnosed though… It was probably just a singular manic episode with psychosis that I’ve been through…
