Hep can cause you to lose your libido, anyone experience that? I have now for 4 years very low libido, sex drive, and almost impotent.
It sucks.... really being im a young man. Im hoping i will regain my libido, but it doesent seem like it...

Ok found the right thread about Low Libido.. I am certainly glad I am not the only one.  Hense the testosterone treatment my Gyno just started me on yesterday.    Low Libido I wish, how about NO Libido.  How embarrassing to talk to a Male doctor about.   I almost started laughing.  .. but you know I kinda had this issue before starting treatment, so can't say it was the tx drugs, but maybe the HepC has / had a lot to do with it.   And as a matter of fact it was my Gyno that found the elevated liver emzymes when I went to talk to him about this issue years ago.  referred back to Primary for other issues first.  

So now full circle.   and so far still clear HepC, but other issues going on, and I think I figured out this morning what my issue is with my stomach... Will know more when I see my doctor on Tuesday.  But did just start the testosterone shots yesterday.. waiting for something to kick in. .LOL

OK, ill do it, i hope its becouse the risperidon

You can see that it is listed under the less serious side effects.

it doesn't mean that it is less serious, but less serious opposed to the serious life threatening side effects.

Risperidone ( generic name for Speridan or Rispolept) is an antipsychotic drug which definitely can have that side effect, like all antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs. You need to discuss this with your doctor.

[Marcia2202]

What are the possible side effects of risperidone (Risperdal, Risperdal M-Tab)?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Stop using risperidone and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

fever, stiff muscles, confusion, sweating, fast or uneven heartbeats;
restless muscle movements in your eyes, tongue, jaw, or neck;
tremor (uncontrolled shaking);
trouble swallowing; or
feeling light-headed, fainting.
Less serious side effects may include:

mild restlessness, drowsiness, or tremor;
sleepiness, dreaming more than usual;
blurred vision;
dizziness or headache;
weight gain;
problems with urination;
nausea, dry mouth, constipation; or
decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm.
