Taking risperidone will increase prolactin wich causes a reduction of testosterone on males.
I’ve read somewhere in the forum that if you take risperidone + small dose of aripiprazole → reduces prolactin.
Anyone knows why doctors don’t usually prescribe both?
Low testosterone sucks… no wonder I feel tired all the time
I take 6mg daily of risperidone and also an injection of invega trinza 819mg every three months and I’m not sure about prolactin but I have sexual dysfunctions due to stuff that happened to me earlier in my life but I’m sure the aps I take don’t help.
Yeah I am on risperidone and although my prolactin levels are not that high they are high enough.
I suffer with low testosterone and sexual dysfunction and now I have to deal with galactorrhea.
Fun times!
Invega was love/hate med for me. The first year on it was hell - anxiety and walking zombie. After a year i added escitalopram to my Invega and I was able to study and work. My pecker worked while on Invega, just I had no ejaculation going on. The more damage to sexual function was done on escitalopram. High prolactin also made me to gain over 40kgs in 5 months and then stabilized. I was able to lose half of this weight

I’m glad I got off Risperidome and switched to Abilify. My sexual functioning is back somewhat
In the US there were class action lawsuits against big pharma for risperidone. Due to the gyno and lactation.
