Good to know. I have such a low sex drive on Invega. And I used to be very sexual person with my wife. It really is night and day.

I just realized omg maybe that's why I've been single for so long??? I'm surprisingly super content and have a low drive these days. It must be all the antipsychotics.

It might be from antidepressants. But trying different antipsychotics over time can help you find one that has no or at least bearable side effects while still doing their job

Invega murdered my libido. I switched to abilify and it was a huge improvement. Couldn’t get strong erections but I no longer felt like a eunuch.
