Hello doctor, I am a 33-year-old male with height 180 cm, and weight 85 kg. I always been healthy. I do not have symptoms of depressions. I took Risperdal to treat minor vocal tics, and I have OCD. Now I have been off Risperdal for five months and still no libido, no sex drive. I searched for post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD). Why do no doctors recognize this? What is the solution now? I took Risperdal three times for three months each time for the past two and a half years (on and off). I took Risperdal three months before. Symptoms are no libido, no sex drive, and no feelings for sex. I am not taking any other medication (never took any). Why is everyone ignoring PSSD? What is the treatment?
Hello. The drug you used Risperdal contains Risperidone an atypical antipsychotics and it has an effect on libido, but it will wear off when you stop taking medicine. So we need to find other reason causing low libido such as, 1. Decreased sensation in your penis. 2. Fear of failure. 3. Low self-esteem (chronic masturbation). 4. Homosexuality. 5. Religious constraints. 6. Long term illness. 7. Negative attitude towards your partner. 8. Hormonal issue. 9. Diabetes and hypertension. These are other issues causing low libido. If you can share details regarding the above reason, we can work on your cause.
