Women affected by invega & respirdal

Medications
1

Hey ladies. I have taken respirdal for many years, then pushed over to invega shots for more years. Others may be embarrassed to bring this up, but I have to.

My body (breasts) has morphed from a hooray!-- To sir please stop staring, to this is ridiculous status. I should mention my career as a model, successful, was everything to me as I sacrificed for it.

I have had all horrible symptoms that the gynoclamastic male patients experience. The prolactin levels, lacation, (lord) the pain, the growth in tissue.

MY DOCTORS DISMISS ME! Mental health doctor, (I think) makes notes. Medical doctors assume I just want new boobs.
ATTORNEYS DISMISS ME, AS A WOMEN SINCE THE MASS TORTE IS FOR MEN.

Everything morning I have to scrape my self esteem off the floor. My bra size was, a 34 dddd. When I stopped this medication , my breast tissue, swollen to an O cup at its peak.
Sounds great? It wasn’t. After the swelling, not only I’m left with plenty of cleavage…

Let’s say there is nothing photogenic about my body now. I still have pain.
Neurologist found a tumor in the pituitary.
Mammogram found a lump. There is no happiness in my spirit. I have no reason to enjoy intimacy.
I have been robbed, and even with money, I can’t get help.

Have you asked your doctor about adding low dose abilify to your med regime to lower the prolactin?

I don’t have any advice, but I think you got a good suggestion so far

4

How is adding abilify going to reverse her breast size?

5

İnvega highly degenerate body shapes.you could try abilify instead

6

Pituitary tumours are caused by antipsychotics including abilify yo those suggesting a switch.

7

Where’s the evidence that abilify causes pituitary tumours?

8

By lowering prolactin.

9

So lowering prolactin reduces breast size? I don’t think that’s correct but ok.

I recommend trying the abilify like others have suggested.

Also,

I’ve had a breast reduction/lift.

I’m happy to answer any questions about it if that’s something you are interested in.

APs like risperidone can cause pituitary tumors.
It’s very unlikely that Abilify can cause these.
