lybrate-user, taking medicine is not the same as taking treatment. So you should take treatment which means go back to your doctor after finishing the period for which the med has been suggested by your doctor. Your doctor will help you by reviewing he medicines for efficacy and side effects and prescribing the medicines based on your current state.

The medications you mentioned are for psychosis, most probably schizophrenia when the duration is 10 years. At times people feel, medications are not helping, always decide based on your subjective experience as well as what people around you feel, when you are on medications and when not on them. If there is a relapse, treating the same will be difficult. If there are side effects from medicines they can be worked upon, by discussing with the psychiatrist, if you have stopped, many disappear in 4-8 weeks, other symptoms might be part of the illness rather than side effects. Also both Risperdione and CPZ are prone to reduce sexual desire, rather than vice versa as you mentioned. Ideal would be for you to discuss the outcome along with a family member and then decide. All the best.
