im taking a low dose of risperdal((((1mg.)))) and have since had a continuous sore throat, and ughhhh breast producing, or rather lactating. told the nurse that works at pdr. and the only way to quit the side effects is to quit taking it.... the problem is i notice an improvement since starting the med. 2 months ago, just confused, anyone here take risperdal with thesr types of side effects,....and should i consider stopping it altogether????

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!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
