Risperidone pregnancy

Three women, aged 61, 53, and 21 years, developed delusions of pregnancy while taking risperidone their blood prolactin concentrations were 49, 78, and 52 ng/ ml, respectively (reference range 2-26) (760). 

Amenorrhea and infertility were consequences of the effects of typical neuroleptic drugs and of risperidone. Clinicians should be aware that patients changed from these agents to drugs like olanzapine, quetiapine, or clozapine are therefore at risk of pregnancy (6). 

Risperidone may be preferable to anticonvulsant mood stabilizers if treatment is required during pregnancy... 

An overdose of oral risperidone in a cliild resulted in neuroleptic malignant syndrome [255 ]. A case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome in a 50-year-old male treated with levopromazine and risperidone microspheres (14 weeks after first injection and 1 week after the last injection) is reported [256 ]. A case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome during pregnancy is reported [257 ].
