My (pre-risperidone) testosterone levels checked out, and I have reasons to doubt it's due to the meds. I'm also looking a dopamine because I think I've had a similar experience with lithium a while back, which apparently also blocks dopamine.
Keep in mind I've only recently started considering dopamine as a factor in my present condition.
