Poll: Hows your libido?

Choices:

  • My libido is normal
  • My libido is lowered because of meds
  • I have no libido

Hi.I wanna know hows your libido? Ever since i was put on invega i have no libido. Its frustrating because i had a very high libido before i was put on meds. I plan on bringing it up to my doc soon. Maybe we can do something about it. How about you?

I am sure mine is lowered, but as my chances of having an intimate relationship are about zero it doesn’t really matter.

Mine has lowered due to the heavy use of nicotine, I know I am a nicotine addict, the habit I must stop, but I do not know how.

Lowered mostly because of depression and grief.

lowered but i dont blame it on the meds, just life. i dont feel very attractive so i dont wanna have sex. maybe the meds make me feel more unattractive though so it is their fault after all!

I haven´t felt aroused for 9 months now. It sucks. Me and my gf used to have sex at least 3-5 times a week we both had a high libido now we have sex 1 time a month just so we don´t forget how it feels like :confused:

Sex takes relationship to other dimension it deepens relationship and i really miss that. We talked already about lowering my dose again…to 3mg, hopefully it will happen and it will improve my libido and other stuff.

Lowered libido, thanks to the risperidone :confounded:

My libido has returned to normal since my doctor tested my testosterone level, found it low, and started me on testosterone. I understand that some anti-psychotics can tend to reduce testosterone but my knowledge of that is only hearsay. My lowered levels may be due to aging.

i use D.I.Y cause ive no girlfriend

Mine is sometimes too high. Like last night I kept talking to myself, the conversation kept ending up in talking about sex, like how I bit a girl’s nose one time.

Looks like some of you have normal libido and some of you lowered libido. It looks like it´s not normal to have no libido on antipsychotics. So without a doubt…i will discuss this with my pdoc soon.

I’ve never had a libido, even before meds. I’ve craved human contact, but not sex, nor The need to masturbate. It’s non existent. Maybe i went on meds too early but I don’t think that’s the case, I just think I struggle to get excited that way.

Mine is nonexistent.

There’s no option for me :smile:

When I was on high doses of meds… I had no libido.

I’ve gotten stronger and had a dramatic drop in dose… and other tinkering…

It’s come back.

Some foods reduce libido as well…For example…Wedding cake :smile:

nor do I. Sex doesn’t interest me. Just affectionate gestures like hugs and kisses.

What would be your option sarad? I saw you talking about some fetishes :smile:
