I'm sure a lot of men have. Alas, it's a side effect of a fair number of medications for mental disorders.

SSRI's and SNRI's are notorious for this. It's a well-documented side effect, nothing that
ever comes as a surprise to anyone.

What is SSRI and SNRI stand for? Okay let me tell you my story. I began with Invega and then experienced ED so I asked my doc to refer me to something else (Geodon) and I been woth it for a year or so but no relief I was still having ED it was just a couple of days ago out of sheer anguish I got up and decided to make another change> so I have yet to meet with the doc and I think my problem relates to prolactin in the system so at this point I dont know how to fight this other than changing the antipsychotic for the third time in a row.

I'm pretty much cured of schizoaffective do you think I should just stop taking the meds? I am tired of being in this condition seriously.

ED isn't a very popular side effect of antipsychotics, but it does happen.

Also, these meds don't "cure" anything. They only work as long as they are in your system,
so I wouldn't recommend stopping taking them.
