Can Sizodon cause my sister to stop having her menstrual periods and lose sexual pleasure, especially since she did not have these issues when she was taking Quitipin?

Asked by Female, 28 · 30 days ago

Yes, Sizodon (risperidone) can cause missed menstrual periods and decreased sexual pleasure. This happens because risperidone can increase a hormone called prolactin in the body. Quitipin (quetiapine) is much less likely to affect prolactin levels, which is why your sister did not experience these side effects while taking it. Please reassure her that these side effects are well-known and usually reversible. It is very important that she discusses this with her doctor, who can safely adjust her dosage or suggest an alternative medication without abruptly stopping her treatment.
