Hi! My friend has a sister who is schizophrenic. Last month she noticed symptoms of galactorrhea. I heard that certain medication can cause galactorrhea. I know that dopamine antagonists are used for treating schizophrenia and I think that some of them my cause galactorrhea. I’m asking which dopamine antagonists may induce it and why?

My sister had a similar problem few years ago. Schizophrenics may have an overactive dopamine system. Dopamine antagonists can help regulate this system by stimulating dopamine activity. I know that many of these medications, which are used to treat psychotic disorders like neuroleptics and serotonergic antidepressants, usually cause an elevation in prolactin.
