Has anyone else experienced lactation as a side effect from AAPs?

Originally I took Seroquel 125mg, no lactation or breast pain.
Then Risperidone 4mg, lactation to the point that I had to stuff/use pads so I wouldn't have big wet spots.
Went off of the Risperidone, lactation went away after about 4 months.
Started Seroquel 50mg, had immediate severe breast pain, and starting to lactate now (have been on it for about 3 weeks)

WHY?

I can't stand this side effect. Planning to ask pdoc about other options, but I've heard most AAPs have this side effect (Geodon and Abilify in addition to the ones above)

People said Seroquel didn't usually do this (along with Zyprexa, Clozapine) - does this possibly have to do with the recent Risperidone use?

Definitely planning to discuss this with my pdoc but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem with the AAPs.

Yeah, risperidone.

Quite common apparently. I can't remember how long it lasted after I stopped though.

Yeah Risperidone - shocked the heck out of me when it first happened and that was when I was at a major work conference in New York - talk about lousy timing.
