Schizophrenia
6 months ago I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and since then I am taking antipsychotic drugs. Previously I was taking risperidone oral medication and now since last 2 months I have been switched to paliparidone (invega sustenna injection).
I have noticed that my erections are not strong enough and my penis size has also reduced. Please let me know if these side effects are reversible or not. I am worried about my future. I am 31 year old.
Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. Any medicines is just one part of psychic treatments and sometimes it creates side effects like the one mentioned by you.
So it's important to follow certain non medicine treatment plan like changes in your lifestyle, dietary, excersise routines, self therapies etc to get complete cure.
First Consult your doctor who suggested the medicine change about this symptoms and get his advice.
Consult a psychologists directly or online to identify the right non medicine treatment plan that you can follow in parallel.
