Weird Side Effect

Hello all,

About a month ago, I started medication for anxiety and depression. I was also having trouble sleeping. I believe the medication for sleep is the one causing this weird effect. I am taking 1mg Risperidone. I been doing so good, and it helped me so much to sleep better, however yesterday I noticed there is milk coming out of my breasts, I have not given birth recently and I’m not pregnant either. I did call my doctor right away and they sent me to do labwork which I will do tomorrow, but I feel so isolated because I know this is not a very common side effect and I feel so anxious. Has this happen to anyone? It would help me hear from other as I wait for lab results and what’s next.

thank you
