A 21-year old woman presents with complaints of milky discharge from
her breasts. She doesn't have any other symptoms and is not pregnant,
nor has been before. She tells the nurse about each medication that she
takes. Which of these drugs may be implicated as the cause of the
symptom?
aspirin
Lamotrigine
Risperidone
sertraline - ANSWER-Correct Answer:
Risperidone

Risperidone can cause the greatest prolactin elevation among
atypical psychotics. A milky white discharge known as galactorrhea
could be a sign of an underlying condition. The fact that the woman
takes Risperidone, an atypical antipsychotic, would likely point to
the cause and should be switched with one less likely to have that
same side effect.
