Hi I was wondering if anybody has recovered from sexual dysfunction from this medication. I taket xeplion and it helps a lot but I have sexual dysfunction from it. I have been taking it for 8 months. I dont have hallucinations but the only problem is the sexual dysfunction. I was wondering if this will be beter with time?.
Its similar to the Risperidone I take. Yes it causes sexual dysfunction. You should switch to another antipsychotic.

Unlikely after 8 months. It higher Prolactin which decreases Testosterone.

Hi @sonXI .i m using xeplion since 5 years.nowadays i m using 3 monthly version trevicta.its miracle drug for me.i m completely stable and without relapse since 5 years and it diminished all my somatic hallucinations paranoia and alogia.its also add lot of positive thing.i don t like to talk about sexual things at public but used to have sexual dysfunction badly first two of years at this medication.sexual dysfunction followed by anhedonia and loss of motivation.but all of them diminished after 5 years.and trevicta its better for injections side effects.but its definitely not for everyone because it s hard to adapt your new conciousness.but its best safest without side effects drug for me.good luck.

Xeplion (Paliperadone) is essentially Risperadone that doesnt need to be metabolised so much by the Liver.
Ive had the “droop” for years - combination of the AP’s and the drinking. I can understand its an important topic for some younger people, but being older and not being bothered about it too much - i prefer to stay on it.
The stuff really changed my life for the better.

I take Invega Sustenna injections and I have no sex drive but it’s fine with me since I can’t afford to date anyone or have kids.
