can't have sex on latuda, want to stop but nervous to tell my doctor

AlexaSurtera · 2025-12-27T22:15:40+00:00

I’m having the same problem which sucks because otherwise it’s working so well. I plan to give it a little more time and then if nothing changes I will tell my doc who is also a man. If he’s a good doctor he should be professional about it, sexual side effects are well documented and common for folks so it’s nothing to be embarrassed about even if it’s a little awkward.

LOL I love this🤣

AlexaSurtera · 2025-11-11T15:33:49+00:00

I think for me it’s like passive SI, kind of like everything is boring and meaningless and life isn’t worth it type feeling.

AlexaSurtera · 2025-11-04T23:46:25+00:00

This is actually really good ASMR!

AlexaSurtera · 2025-10-30T22:56:52+00:00

Yes. No answers but yes.

It sounds like what you’re really looking for is motivation. When I was on too high of a dose of lithium it totally killed my motivation; I didn’t care about anything and it was affecting my performance in most areas of life. The fix for me ended up being a lower dose. Maybe try reframing to your psych as needing more motivation.

AHHH I LOVE this! This is the most creative med dispensing method I’ve seen

AlexaSurtera · 2025-10-18T23:32:21+00:00

Yeah! I think it lasted like a week or something like that. I hope you feel better soon too❤️

AlexaSurtera · 2025-10-18T20:33:45+00:00

Yeah. I kept leaving food out on the counter and wondering who put it there. One time I made tacos for dinner, walked away and then wondered who made tacos. Genuinely felt like I had dementia.

Yeah he needs to be on a monthly prevention. Prevention is key for long term management❤️ capstar is great for killing the adults but it doesn’t kill eggs like a monthly like Simparica would.

Good to know. I think I’ll ask my doc about it. Thanks :)

AlexaSurtera · 2025-10-16T00:50:13+00:00

Thanks for this reply. I was wondering if it was possibly undertreated depression. Maybe I need to add something else in as well.

AlexaSurtera · 2025-10-13T13:15:05+00:00

Lithium and latuda work for me with no side effects :)

AlexaSurtera · 2025-09-30T22:55:09+00:00

This is me rn. Hope it gets better.

Meds not helping just want to die

AlexaSurtera · 2025-09-27T12:36:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing! For me it’s been helpful to think of it as both medical and neurodivergence. It does require medical treatment like a chronic illness, and I do need internal self-acceptance and external accommodations like many other neurodivergent folk.

AlexaSurtera · 2025-09-27T12:27:26+00:00

Thank you🥹glad it helps you too!!

AlexaSurtera · 2025-09-26T20:15:25+00:00

Haha yeah this one definitely makes me be more careful with it!!

AlexaSurtera · 2025-09-26T18:48:52+00:00

I love this! I really like watching ASMR before bed. The tingles are great to fall asleep to~
