agapoulo Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Sexual side effects are a valid reason to explore alternative medications with your psychiatrist. You don't need to get in the details. There are several classes of antipsychotics, with differing side effect profiles. It's common at the start of therapy to have to try different molecules, reduce dosage but add another molecule, and so on. Which antipsychotic are you currently taking? Link to comment
