Dear Renu, Schizophrenia itself has few negative symptoms like anhedonia, apathy, blunting of affect, depression, etc Clozapine might cause weight gain, metabolic syndrome, changes in sugar and lipid metabolism. All these multiple factors influence interaction with others and sexual relationship with husband. Lozapin related factors take long time to affect sexual problem. Was she having good relationship with others and sex with husband before lozapin? If the answer is 'no', it is due to schizophrenia.

In schizophrenia that is not adequately treated there could be sexual problems like no interaction, no physical relationship with husband or other issues. If you believe that you need to consult a different psychiatrist to change the medications, I suggest that you do so very slowly with a second opinion as to not affect the patient's psychotic symptoms. Look forward to hearing from you.

Schizophrenia itself can produce low sexual desire and interest. Lozapine is a good drug which needs to be taken under doctors advise and regular blood tests. All the best.

Hello friend, good that you are seeking help here. Be aware that medicine is just one part of any psychic treatments like your friend's case. They help to treat the symptoms and give relief but sometimes create side effects due to various reasons including certain body conditions. So the solution is to have a complimentary treatment along with medicine. In parallel, she needs to undergo certain non-medicine treatment plan like psychotherapies or mindset changes techniques to control certain negative or anxious thoughts, which is the actual root cause behind such problems. Along with this few lifestyle changes, dietary changes, exercise routines, relationships counselling etc can help to improve the condition. Be patient. Sh will be alright soon.

Side effects occur to all medications and sexual side effects may occur to Clozapine , that should not mean to stop medications if patient is responding to treatment. Please discuss with your doctor who prescribed Clozapine. Thanks
