There are many and each has slightly different side effect profiles with respect to sexual dysfunction as well as fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, etc. There are ways to optimize but may take multiple tries - WITH a physician, not on your own - to determine the optimal condition management benefit/side effect balance. | |
| Sep 9, 2017 at 4:22 | comment | added | user2428 | I've been on SSRI's and had to move to Elontril, for example, as SSIR's cause sexual dysfuncion. Many doctors deny this factor and consider it irrelevant and subscribe SSIR's most commonly. The reason I'm using Elontril and not SSRI's + Amisulpride is my own effort to figure out the issue. I really hope years of SSIR's, Risperidone and Amisuplpride didn't cause an irreversible state with lower libido for a lifelong time. | |

| Sep 8, 2017 at 9:11 | comment | added | user1571 | The elevated prolactin levels return to the normal after the medication is stopped. So yes, the prolactin disturbance is reversible. | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 9:07 | comment | added | user2428 | Does this mean that treatment using Risperidone or other anti psychotics over a period of, say 10 years will cause prolactin / testosterone disturbance to last - or is this a reversible process? | |
