hi
risperdal can cause elevation of a hormone called prolactin which can cause the symptoms you described you should write down or remember the word prolactin and arrangewith your doctor to get a blood test to see if thats the problem

I had the same problem on Risperdal. rbL is right, it can raise the prolactin in your body and cause that side effect. You should talk to your pdoc about it. I had to be switched to a different medication. Good luck and I hope you get this problem resolved soon. I know how weird it feels.

Yea it sure is weird. I tried switching but was sent back to the risperdal because I was halucinating with Abilify (on a smaller dose though...). At least the whole risperdal thing makes some laughs for my boyfriend.
