A member asked:
My son has started on risperdal (he is autistic). he is a bodybuilder, and he have lost 9 kg muscle over the past 6 weeks. is it a testosterone issue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Most psychotropics can have endocrine dysfunction as a side effect. More important than androgen deficiency side effect would be the link between the drug and diabetes.
