- ArticleMartin-Du Pan R.Schweiz Arch Neurol Neurochir Psychiatr. 1978;122(2):285-313.Sexual behaviour and fertility of schizophrenic patients are discussed. The various sexual dysfunctions induced by neuroleptics, such as decrease in libido, troubles of ejaculation and impotence, are described and related to their various mechanisms of action. The central antidopaminergic effect of neuroleptics would be responsible for an overall non-specific decrease in libido. Their effect upon the autonomous nervous system would explain ejaculation disturbances. Their endocrine action (increase in prolactine) would produce impotence. The possibility of treatment of these endocrinological troubles by bromocriptine is discussed.
