Anyone have facial hair as side effect of risperdal?

All of a sudden I had a bunch of hairs grow on my chin as well as lactating. This stuff us really effing with my hormones

That happened to me when I switched to a different form of birth control. When I switched off it,the hairs stayed.

You should get your prolactin checked though. If it is elevated, your doctor may want you to switch meds.

Oh, yeap… I started to have some white facial hair on my face on Zyprexa… This is hard, I know… but mine is still white, so I don’t touch it yet :confused:

been on 2mg three times a day for like three years, only have weight gain and a lacking sex drive. would be nice if i could grow a beard tho. could be a thryoid issue, hard to tell the endocrine system is complex and the drug can interact with the systems responsible for those occurances. Could also be as simple as a dosing issue or a seperate problem. best of luck
