I have been suffering from hypersexuality for many years. I have tried my best to control it but I couldn't. Due to this I have been in stress and depression for so long. So I visited a psychiatrist nearby. He prescribed the medicine risperdal tab. Can I continue this medicine till I completely recover? Or shall I discontinue it.

It is not primary medication for hypersexuality. usually SSRI groups are used. If in doubt, get a second opinion. Good luck.
