> I lactate on all antipsychotics and it starts within 2-3 days of taking them. It is VERY painful. My doctor said that sometimes putting of the side effect can be worth it ... he is male. It is so painful that I would wake up in the middle of night when I turned over. This is not a side effect that goes away.Yeah, it was pretty painful last night and all of today. I'm hoping it'll go away soon.

Why would I get the level checked if I just go off of it? I mean is there some reason that I need to know what the level is? And do you mean wait 4 months since the lactation that's been occuring recently?I don't know, I'm not taking it now and maybe I'll just stay away from it. Seroquel has not done this to me. Zyprexa hasn't either, but I only take that on rare occasions. I hope that if I increase my dose of S, which I am thinking of doing, it won't start to happen.
Do you think that if I took a lower dose of Risperdal this effect would still happen?
