Vivitrol Side Effects
UpdatedI was on Vivitrol for alcohol addiction from April 2015 until November 2016. Around December 2015 I began experiencing sexual side effects - low libido & decreased feelings during climax. Symptoms became worse over time. I have now been off the medication for almost a year and still have no libido, arousal or sexual feelings. Vivitrol has damaged both my dopamine and serotonin receptors. This is similar to Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction. There is no cure and it may be permanent. Vivitrol did help with my addiction to alcohol, but I would have gone off the medication sooner if I had known that I would lose my sexuality. There is no research on this and no cure. I have tried various dopamine agonists to no avail. I am not depressed and have no other medical or psychological issues. If you go on Vivitrol and have sexual side effects while on the medication, know that those effects may continue after stopping the medication. Having no sexuality is no fun.
