To a frustrating point. My partner claimed they have a high drive, and they do, but it’s nothing compared to a hypomanic MuddyBoots.
But seriously, is there any way I can not be a major horn dog? It’s been this way since I stopped taking Haldol. I know it’s probably linked to an elevated state in a bipolar way, but it’ll be a while until I can get back on meds as I do not have a treatment team. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

Yeah its just mother natures way of propagating the species. Its a batch. Its more like eating than they tell you - its an appetite that MUST be satisfied or else. Or else you struggle unnecessarily. So um make time for yourself, is my advice. The elders really should educate the youth on this. Instead of just encouraging them to eff up their lives like they did.

Are you in your 20s? 30s? I was that way when I was younger. I think it’s perfectly normal. It changes with age. I understand no privacy but where are you seeing your partner? You mentioned having one.

Yeah but IME it gets worse in your 40's, like mother nature knows she is running out of time to get you knocked up.

Usually we hang out at a park close by or the Dunks they work at. I sometimes see them at their apartment, which is great and all it really is SOME privacy (I shouldn't have said NO privacy) when their roommates aren't there. And yeah, I'm 27 so I guess of course my body's going to make me want to make babies.

I had a high sex drive at baseline but when hypomanic/manic, of course it went into, no pun intended, overdrive. It is part of the whole hypomania thing: more creative, more artistic, hypersexual, more expansive, more talkative (for me it is writing though, actual writing or stories writhing themselves in my head and not talking out loud).
As someone who has seen the opposite of it, and has had anorgasmia for extended periods of time, both as a result of severe emotional relational abuse and as a result of meds (Risperdal killed it entirely and even killed vaginal lubrication for me and Latuda was not as bad but still flattened me), I would say, try to find a way to see it as a blessing that comes with this disease. Try to enjoy and cherish it while you have it. On Haldol, were you at baseline in terms of the sex drive or was it completely gone? And forgive me as I do not recall, why did you go off Haldol? Was it a medical decision or did you run of meds and do not have a treatment team now that would prescribe a refill? __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |

When I switched from Latuda to its cousin Geodon, not only did I get my sex drive and interest back but also songs started playing in my mind from time to time. This is a normal state for me, to have songs play in my mind form time to time. But when I was on Latuda, I did not notice, did not realize that the songs were gone. It was only when they suddenly came back that I realized what I had been missing.
This goes to showing that they are in a bundle: arts appreciation, creativity, sexuality, etc. At least for me and many other people, they are in a bundle. How about you? __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |

I stopped Haldol because if it wasn’t the akathisia and other EPS that completely destroyed any will to live I had, the total suppression of dopamine sure did (which this effect is greater in Haldol than any antipsychotic).
No drive on Helldol. Off all meds now. Where’s the line between high drive and overdrive? Hard to appreciate it after having hep C and gonorrhea in a year and getting nothing but frustration and fights out of it. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |

hep C is a very serious thing. Fortunately now there is treatment, unlike before, but I understand that is grueling and expensive. How were you able to afford it?
How about solo sex? Isn't not at all satisfying? Does it absolutely have to be partner sex for you? to me overdrive is when sexually charged content is on my mind all the time. __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |

Yeah, I was incredibly sick, thought I was going to die (but tbh didn't care). I no longer test positive for the virus though so that's good.
Don't have copays so didn't have to pay up front for anything. I'm in a ridiculous amount of debt (almost $25,000) though because of that. And that's with the generic. Insurance wouldn't cover it. I was working on an appeal before I moved/got kicked out, the mailing address they have on file is my mom's place, and even when I was with her she was hiding my mail if she reached the mailbox first. Now I'm 1.5 hours away, don't have a key, and have no fixed residence so don't really know how to get access to my own mail. Or my money, because she's my rep payee who probably spends that money on her personal expenses. I went to the social security office and asked how I can become my rep payee and they said I could either get my rep payee (who won't travel the 70 miles, let alone say I can handle my money) to come in and we could go through a whole process, or I could get a doctor to sign off that I'm capable of handling my own money. But right now I do not see a single doctor. okay so that was a tangent haha. I spent the day watching trials of a bunch of major cases in the US and Planet of the Apes movies so I guess since I didn't want to fk the monkeys and the murder victims, I'm not on overdrive ![]() Solo sex is like 3/5 of all of my "sex." I guess it's normal and not as much of an issue as it feels afterall. __________________ [Insert thought-provoking and comedic quote here] |
