My breasts started leaking a little today.
I'm not sure what to do. My doc is on vacation. I am have success with this AAP and do not want to discontinue unless absolutely necessary. Instead of 10mg of Saphris, maybe if I drop to 5mg and get symptom control, and keep prolactin levels down, maybe, maybe...? I am very new to all this. Anyone with experience here? Do I need to get blood levels established? |

I had the same side effect with Risperidone - boy did it freak me out. I'd say wait until you talk to your Dr. if the med is otherwise working for you. I found that this side effect eventually went away once my body adjusted to the med.

Really? It might not be a done deal then? That is a relief just to contemplate as a possibility. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. It gives me hope and helps me feel not quite so weird while I wait to speak to my doctor. I won't change anything until I speak with him. It is really a minor occurrence. Just enough to freak me out and a real first!

That can especially be a concern in young females, especially those going through puberty and who haven't stopped growing yet.

Are you menstruating? The prolactinemia from my Risperdal actually stopped my periods. They returned to normal once I lowered my dosage. The difference was as little as 0.5 mg. When it first happened, I stressed about being pregnant and finally had my prolactin level checked.

Dragonfly, thanks for your reply. Seems my notifications aren't working or I would have responded sooner. I'll be switching to Latuda within a few days and see if that helps in the long run, though it won't immediately. Still have elevated prolactin levels, even though I lowered my Saphris dosage :-(

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