When I was on Risperidal, one of the side effects I had was galactorrhea.

Thank you all very much for your messages. I feel a lot more reassured now. :-) From Claire.

Thank you for your replies :-) I have another question, which I hope you don't mind me asking. I know the unit I will be on has rooms for each patient with an ensuite, but do you know if there will be privacy? Cos I am terrified that there will be cctv in the rooms or something. Sorry, I am terrified about this whole experience cos I was abused for 10 years (I'm 18 now) and so privacy is kind of important to me... Thanks, From Claire.

Please could someone explain what the admissions process is to a psychiatric unit in england, as I am supposed to be entering one in two weeks time and I am very worried. I have heard that you are searched for anything that you could use to harm yourself. Is this true? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me. From Claire.
