Could Reduced Desire For Sex Be A Side Effect Caused By Taking Sizodon LS Tablet For Years?
Iam 45 year old male used to take sizodon LS for the last three years.. and I have a reduced sexul feelings and almost nil intercourse capacity which affected my family life also. Is Sizodon has such a side effect. when I stopped it now Iam allright. Is it advisable to take sizodon again if needed
Sizodon (Risperidone) is an anti-psychotic drug. It should not be suddenly stopped or discontinued without doctor's advice. If you have suddenly stopped taking Sizodon on your own you have taken a risk and you may have a rebound of your symptoms.
I suggest that you visit your doctor, discuss the side-effects of Schizodon with him and discuss about reducing dosage or tapering the drug. Follow your doctor's prescription and advice strictly.
