Wow its surely the risperidone. Someone on the forum also got milk discharges while on risperidone and he’s a man. Did you ever check your blood prolactin lvl? Mine is 32.5 but no milk yet.

I mean what can she do for it?
Take me off Risperdal?
Reduce the dose?

I hear that galactorrhea can cause breast cancer

Surely I’m not accepting lactation

My prolactin level is above that of a pregnant woman like 400 and yes it causes breast to produce some milk.

From a Mayo Clinic Article:

Treatment for galactorrhea:

Stop taking medication, change dose or switch to another medication. Make medication changes only if your doctor says it’s OK to do so.

@cigarino My prolactin levels are not that high but still above normal.
Will she still consider taking me off of Rispdal?
