I am on a daily dose of 2mg risperidone for the past 1 year and suffering from erectile dysfunction and low libido. Is this side effect reversible when this medicine is stopped? I am 31 year old unmarried guy worried about my future.

Yes erectile dysfunction and low libido are a side effects of risperidone. It will improve when you stop the meds but do Consult your Psychiatrist before stopping or changing it as it may cause worsening of symptoms.
