Patient's question:
Doctor, I used to take Risperidone for over a year, which caused difficulty in achieving erection. Now I have switched to Olanzapine and haven't taken Risperidone for over a week, but I still have trouble with erection. What should I do? When will the side effects of Risperidone wear off? Do I need to take anything? How can I get better?Doctor's answer:
It is due to medication-related factors that have led to erectile dysfunction. Generally, it can gradually return to normal after discontinuing the medication or adjusting the dosage. However, recovery takes time, so do not worry too much. Male diseases can be alleviated, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition tends to recur after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's care, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period.
