Can anti-psychotic medication cause sexual dysfunction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most antipsychotics have some impact on sexual function. This can manifest as decreased libido, problems obatining/maintaining erections, or anorgasmia (inability to climax). Newer antipsychotics reportedly have less impact on sexual function.
