Are their any men out there who have been able to start a family while taking antipsychotics ? Please respond if you have. As this matter is of great importance to me. Thank you.

My brother 27 and his newlywed wife successfully had a very healthy child 8 months ago. I believe he gained 4 or 5 pounds but is in outstanding physical condition works out 4 times a week ( not an excessive muscle head , Like myself lol ) I know he's on ability for over a year although dosage Iam not sure of. I know my mom was concerned about the anti physcotic rxs when they announced they were planning a family but so far all is well thank god. I hope that answers some of your questions. Good luck....

I'm not sure if the side effect of impotence differs from taking antipsychotics in different men. The side effect of weight gain for instance doesn't really vary in different men. I'm yet to meet a man who hasn't experienced weight gain from antipsychotics. I really want to hear from a man/men, who with a woman have started a family while taking antipsychotics. Is it possible?

There is no way to give a definitive answer to this question, because everyone is different, so not everyone experiences such side effects, according to NIH reports.

If they are causing your severe problems, you should speak to your physician about trying a different medication.

Which other ones have you tried?
