KJ Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I have anxiety disorder (amongst other things) and after many failed attempts on other drugs was prescribed amisulpride. It made me extremely hyperactive, but the most intriguing thing was that after two 25mg doses I started lactating. Has anyone else had this happen, or is it just me? I stopped taking it and this morning I have no hyperactivity, thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamito Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It raises prolactin levels in the blood which causes lactation. Same can happen with Risperidone. I take it daily but don't have lactation, luckily, it's a good med. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintalto Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Tell your doc immediately. If you are lactating I'm fairly sure they have to take you off anything causing it. They acted very urgently in taking me off Risperdal when it caused me to lactate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiaB Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Yes, it happened to me very quickly on amisulpride, so it was a short-lived trial. Definitely speak to your pdoc asap. PS I'm moving this to the antipsychotic board, where you might get more responses on the issue. Edited January 22, 2016 by MiaB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks guys. I managed to get into my Dr today (he had a cancellation). Off the amisulpride and double my dose of vortioxetine. Fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melissaw72 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I had lactation with Reglan. When I went off of it it all went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
