Raspberry-I got curious and checked. Did you know the risk of lactation is really teeny? Significantly less than 1% as far as could tell (they don't list the percentages under 1% but it was very low on the list of things that can happen when percentages weren't given).

I had a really good response to Risperdal on a low dose and with no side effects really at all and would hate for you to miss out on a med that might be great because of something rare. (I will then add that I had to go off it b/c it shot my blood pressure up to 200/100 and made my legs swell up so much I had a cat shaped indentation in one when I discovered the fluid. In all my sister's wedding pictures I look puffy and fatter than usual and it's because 6 days later I was in the ER with 30 lbs of fluid on me. But that almost never happens and in fact I tried Risperdal 2 or 3 more times because it was so unlikely that it was the cause of this but each time my blood pressure crept up and we stopped before it got to anything like 200/100 because that was scary and also was a horrible headache and a nightmare ER experience where they treated me nastily the entire time I was there because I was bipolar and therefore a 2nd class human being. I'm generally pretty mild and the visit ended with a nurse who had a fraction of the education I had in biology/anatomy/physiology saying "this med works on blagh blagh part of the kidneys, not that you would know what that is..." and I interrupted, told him I have a degree in biology and master's in healthcare and therefore had quite a strong understanding of how the kidney works and then grabbed his clipboard, signed the paper, took my copy and walked out. My mom did not recover from her dropped jaw for about 10 minutes and was horrified at the entire experience and how I was treated.

But like I said, not going to happen to you or anyone else; that was one side effect that was all mine apparently. Have you at least talked to your pdoc about this fear and how common it is exactly? Because I really think it is exceedingly rare to lactate and in fact it can happen on other (maybe all) atypicals, just not quite as often as risperdal. I was sure it was going to happen to me when I started Seroquel because my breasts were so swollen and painful but after a while that passed but I remember being pretty concerned that I would be the person who had to stop a med for boob pain. (I've stopped them for everything else it seems....)
