Q: at low dose of risperdal. 025 can make any sexul problem ?

Risper &amp; sexual SEs: You mentioned Risperdal 0.025, but I suspect the dose is actually 0.25. This is the smallest commonly rx'ed dose. While sexual side effects are possible with any atypical, they are relatively uncommon, and even more uncommon at such a low dose of risperdal. Some of the illnesses Risperdal can be used to treat can affect libido. Ring your doc to discuss your current concerns so u can feel btr ASAP!
