Medication Question - Side effect?

LozzyGirl · 11-10-2011, 10:20 PM

I've started to produce breast milk.
The doctors have told me i'm not pregnant, unless i've gotten pregnant since the last time I went and I doubt I'd start to produce breast milk that fast.
I'm taking resperidone, but only a very small dose. 0.5ml at night and 0.25ml in the morning. Would this really be enough to cause this?

were you on any meds previously?

i would ask for a blood test to check your pro-lactin levels to see how high they are, which should determine why its happening.

Agrees^^, while I was on this med my periods stopped but I never had breast leakages. Apparently, the med raises prolactin levels as already stated. Perhaps ask your doctor to check it out for you xx

I'm going to mention it to my psych today.
My periods have also been a little all over the place. Being late and bleeding in between.

What did the doctors say the cause could be? I'd suggest getting checked out again if you are concerned about it x
