annaj37 Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) I am currently borderline asexual from either the Zyprexa or Invega Sustenna I'm on. (I also take Abilify at a low dose) Are there any antipsychotics out there that are supposedly weight neutral and not known to have many sexual side effects?

bookgirl Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have no sexual side effects from Seroquel, but it's not weight neutral AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owly Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I had no weight gain or sexual side effects from Abilify. I'm only taking Lamictal in addition to that though, so I can't really relate to other meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becks Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I had horrible sexual SE's on Seroquel and Invega. None with Geodon. I can't say much about the Latuda. I have no drive right now because of being so depressed. It just feels like work to me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annaj37 Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks, I'm new here if you couldn't tell I think I'll ask my pdoc if I can increase the abilify and decrease the others. For me, Invega was a godsend when I was really having problems, but hopefully the abilify will be able to control my symptoms just as well.

owly Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I'm on 30 mg of Abilify, which is pretty high, and like I said, no side effects. I may just be one of the lucky ones. It's worth a shot though, good luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parapluie Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I am also on Abilify 30 mg and have no sexual side effects. It hasn't been weight neutral for me though, I've gained 30 lbs. I was underweight to start with though, so it's not a really a problem for me, but YMMV. In fact, I have no side effects at all from Abilify, apart from being sleepy.

eternalsun Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Abilify didn't, but IME the typicals don't as bad as atypicals do. The one I have in mind is Prolixin- that seemed to be pretty side effect free for me, including sexually and weight wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazymusician0704 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I guess I've been a lucky one, out of any of the psych meds I've been on ...none of them have effected me sexually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
