I have absolutely no libido thanks to SSRIs and Anti psychotic medication.I never had much of a libido to begin with but right now it feels like sex is so unimportant to me that I might as well become a monk and make a living off of not getting laid.

I have absolutely no libido thanks to SSRIs and Anti psychotic medication.
I never had much of a libido to begin with but right now it feels like sex is so unimportant to me that I might as well become a monk and make a living off of not getting laid.

How to I fix this without discontinuing my medication?
I don't want to stop taking my meds because they work. I am finally happy with my life except that I just don't want to fuck at all.
It makes me feel so broken, yo.

You're not broken, you're free of this bullshit. Enjoy it while it lasts. Do something meaningful with the time.
You always can have sex later, when you'll change or stop medication. Not having sex if you don't feel like it is perfectly ok.

I'm transgender and on hormones and I have a similar effect. I dunno if this is comparable but I just kinda force it. I have almost no urge to fuck at all anymore but I just kinda do it anyway.

Why would you 'fix' it? If you don't have the urge for sex you shouldn't worry about having sex. And people around you won't judge you because you don't need to tell them anything at all.

I kinda know that feel OP, having been on paroxetine and taking risperidone currently. Paroxetine made my dick completely limp and I couldn't get hard even if I wanted to, taking just risperidone makes it easier to fap (though it does take longer), but I feel nothing when I'm done. It just made me fap less overall, which I'm guessing is a good thing for people into nofap.

no experience with anti-psychotics but how long have you been taking your meds? zoloft ruined my dick for a few weeks but now things are back to normal.

Recently started taking Zoloft/Sertraline once again, and holy shit, the no libido thing is real. Also suicidal thoughts are much more frequent and strong.
It's fucking annoying.

HOLY SHIT TALK TO YOUR PSYCHOLOGIST AND PSYCHIATRIST ABOUT IT.

Not at all comparable. Completely different systems.

OP, if you're happy with your life, then make sure to build off of that so that you can eventually get off them. Build strong, positive habits that will last you. Work on your mental patterns too. That way you can eventually get off them. I don't think depression should be medicated for the rest of ones life.

Sex just causes me a lot of anxiety. It feels good and dangles this idea in front of me that it could make me happy, and that's the only reason I put up with it.

getting off anti psychotics isn't really possible, psychosis isn't going to go away like social anxiety and depression do

I thought there were temporary psychoses.

I don't intend to quit the ADs.
I am way too afraid of a relapse, might as well take em another few years.
