Hey Guys, hope everyone's doing good, BIG
 to u all!  So the thing is, since I've been on the Risperdal/Risperidone (1mg daily) my breasts have grown (not much, but they have) I've started lactating ( again, not much but it's THERE) AND... I've completely stopped menstruating. I haven't had a period since June. I read all about Prolactin and how Atypicals can cause Hyperprolactinemia... I'm wondering, should I be worried? Do you think I might really become permanently infertile? The sites I researched did not clarify if I should be worried... ALL INPUT WELCOME!!!! Thanks ♥

Thanks for highlighting this - I was not aware of these concerns...!
Not menstruating can also be as a consequence of weight loss (I remember you mentioning you were worried about weight loss) The rest I unfortunately have not heard of, nor experienced; sorry

Trippin2.0 I'm assuming there is no way that you can be pregnant? I have been on that med, but didn't experience that. I suggest speaking to your Pdoc and GP about it.

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