I just started having edema in my arms and breasts along with a slight occasional discharge. I take Desipramine, a tricyclic, this is a side effect listed, and Lyrica-edema is a listed side effect.

Has anyone ever had galactorrhea and how did it resolve?

Thanks for your help!

Risperadal did that to me. I leaked everywhere(before I was nursing or pregnant) and had to switch to something else.

Keep an eye on the edema because it can raise your blood pressure too, can you go and have it checked out? There may be a med that won't cause that for you.

I'm also on Risperdal and having a problem of galactorrhea. It's not so serious since I have small discharges from time to time (specially after I have a shower). My doctor says it's not so bad so I continue with risperdal anyway. I just wish this doesn't complicate because risperdal is doing wonders with my obsessive thoughts.
