I've never been on that med, so I don't know what kind of side effects it can cause. It sucks that you have to choose between feeling better with icky side effects or feeling bad so you don't have the side effects. I wish you the best in making the decision, I would be frustrated too!! Take care!

Yeah, risperdal does cause breast enlargement or lactation in both sexes...perhaps another atypical can help you without causing that!
