Antipsychotics including risperidone common or very commonly causes galactorrhea. Antipsychotics, whose effects are mediated by the inhibition of dopamine D2 and D4 receptors, can result in extrapyramidal side effects when the D2 receptors in the hypothalamic tuberoinfundibular system is inhibited. This results in an increase in prolactin level causing symptoms such as galactorrhea, amenorrhea and impotence

#### Monitoring

The BNF advises to monitor lung function (in patients with a history of obstructive airway disease).

#### Overdoses

Overdosages with beta-blockers may cause cardiac effects such as bradycardia, hypotension, syncope, conduction abnormalities, and heart failure. Bradycardia is the most common arrhythmia, but some beta-blockers may induce ventricular tachyarrhythmias secondary to prolongation of QT interval (e.g. sotalol) or QRS duration (e.g. propranolol).
Non-cardiovascular effects include central nervous system effects (including drowsiness, confusion, convulsions, hallucinations, and in severe cases coma), respiratory depression, and bronchospasm.

Management
 - Airway protection 
 - Activated charcoal within 1 hour
 - IV Fluids
 
IV glucagon is the first-line management.
 
For symptomatic bradycardia, IV atropine may be used.
