Is galactorrhea a side effect of antipsychotic medications?
Hello! Galactorrhea is the condition when women breast make milk even though no baby is breast fed. Galactorrhea has many causes: hormone imbalance, frequent breast self-exams, clothing or activities that irritate the breasts. Medicines such as hormones, antidepressants and blood pressure medicines may also cause galactorrhea. Your sister has to visit her doctor and he will most probably do some hormone tests and maybe an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Sometimes the cause remains unknown and breast milk goes away with time.
