My daughter is a 14 year old mentally disabled child who will be 15 next week. She was prescribed Risperdal last month. Her doctor wanted her taking the lowest dosage ( 0.5 ). She's non-verbal. So to get you to understand her wants and needs she uses gestures. I noticed since she has been on the medication that she is always wanting to be held. Was very quiet. Sleeping a lot. She wasn't constipated like the others here have brought up, but she always had diarrhea. Was gaining a lot of weight as well. But it was what happened this morning that made me panic. When I was giving her a bath this morning I noticed that she had a white drip on her leg. I didn't think anything of it because it looked like the liquid bath soap. She gave me a hard time to take her out of the tub, so I put my arms around her from behind causing me to put pressure on both of her breasts. Milk shot out from both breasts. Of course as the mother who knows for a fact that her daughter is a virgin I began to panic. With the recent weight gain and the enlarging of her breasts, and now this, my mind began to think negatively. But from reading what I have so far here on this site I now see that it's happened to others and that it IS the medication.

At 4mg/day, I am experiencing weight gain (finally slowed down though), I went from a size 3 to a size 9 in less than a year, my breasts grew (yay for that!), and they constantly discharge. I am also tired most of the time, and its real difficult to wake up. My motivation is just not anywhere to be found. And my sex drive? I haven't felt any desire since I've been on this drug, its gone totally. I don't like that part much because even though my sex drive was never really strong, at least I had one. But other than that, I guess the drug works.

I really have never had any weight problem. I bought a pair of jeans a month ago and they are tight on me. I don't think I am eating more than I used to. I think the Risperdal is the reason I am gaining weight. My breasts got bigger too and they are tender all the time. I feel like I'm pregnant sometimes due to the breast tenderness and swelling.

I've experienced a lot of weight gain, bad sexual side effects, sedation, my breasts discharged, increased appitite, and costipation.
I went on it for paranoid delusions, and after taking it I started to hear things.

Well, actually, risperdal was just prescribed to my daughter who is eight and a half years old. I gave her the first dose this evening, and after reading these posts, I have to say I am scared.....can anyone tell me what to do? Can I refuse to let my daughter take this medication? or will it make me out to be a parent who does not want to help her child by refusing the meds? Please help...thank you
