So I’ve been on Abilify for a little over a month and I think it is impacting my ability to orgasm. I’m a young woman and before I started taking the meds I was orgasming maybe 50% of the time and now it’s 0%. Sex stuff just feels odd and I can’t get there anymore. I’m not sure if this is the meds because I wasn’t orgasming all the time before, I hate talking about sex and before I bring it up to the doctor I want to be sure. How would I even say this to them? Can anyone relate?

What you say is true that antipsychotics like abilify may cause sexual problems.

Since I went up on my abilify, my libido has dropped from low to zero. Just realized this after seeing your post.

Edit: As for talking about it with your doctor, you don't have to be explicit. You can say that it's causing problems in the bedroom. You don't have to say the "o" word if you don't want to.

Please try to bring this up with your doctor. Not getting to the big O is frustrating and not something you need to “learn to live with.”

I hope you talk to your doctor. What Shazerac said. Some psych meds cause anorgasmia. Sometimes it goes away with time. Sometimes, you have to go off the med.
