Son Having Female Nipples, Breasts, Schizophrenia. Stopped Taking Risperdone, Diazapen. Treatment?

My 32 year old son has developed female nipples and breasts. He has been on risperdone and diazapen for scizophrenia since 2001. He is on Medicare. His psychiatrist has been alerted to his condition, but has not examined my son, stopped his meds, or done anything differently. The psychitrist won't talk to me citing patient priviege. What an I do to help my son who is severely mentally ill ?
