After starting pharmacotherapy with neuroleptics (Olanzapine and Rispolept), my menstruation stopped. Both drugs are already discontinued. Will menstruation return on its own? After what time should it appear?

Stopping menstruation is an adverse reaction for both Olanzapine and Rispolept: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/56198/olanzapine-bluefish-tabletki-ulegajace-rozpadowi-w-jamie-ustnej/ulotka/195282 https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/67664/rispolept-tabletki-powlekane/ulotka/26204 The literature states that the normalization of menstruation occurs about 2-3 months after the end of therapy or a change in the form of therapy. This is an intrinsic process. In the event that menstruation does not occur at this time, I encourage you to consult your doctor. I encourage you to report the occurrence of an adverse reaction in the form of menstrual arrest. Reporting side effects allows you to increase control over medicines available on the market. We wrote about how and why to report side effects in the article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane
