Is loss of libido common with Risperidol?

Yes, the majority of anti psychotic drugs can cause loss of libido. These medications lead to both a loss of sexual desire and also affect performance. There is no anti psychotic drug that does not cause loss of libido. The only option is to take a pill like Viagra to restore erectile performance. This option is only available for men. Unfortunately, Viagra does not help all individuals on anti psychotic medications. Stopping the anti psychotic is not a great option, otherwise symptoms of your schizophrenia will return.
