This may be TMI my breast are larger and heavier. I read Zyprexa can cause this.
Anyone had a similar side effect? Did you doctor say it was dangerous? I have an appointment tomorrow but I thought feedback from here could give me some good questions to ask.
I developped considerable breasts, and I am a male, on all aps I tried, least was Abilify. I am now on Risperdal which is known to increase prolactin which causes breasts and milk secretion even in males. At least I didn’t lactate.
i think zyprexa is one of the lesser likely ones to increase prolactin which cause breast growth, it can cause weight gain tho which in some people is more noticeable in that area
My whole life I’ve been taking meds without any major side effects now I take one that gets me fatter grows me boobs and shrinks my penis which is obv the biggest part like what doesn’t the meds side effects now have
Yeap, but i wasnt aware in the start of the zyprexa, that its a very fattening med… Plus, i am very isolated and inactive and i dont move much since 15 years which is the cause of my gain weight… I put 30 kilos with the zyprexa, but i was eating a lot in the start…
But you know, since two months, i reduced my eating and i lost 8 kilos even while on zyprexa so its possible, hon. Also, movement is very important…
Yeah, in general my morphology is not to have big boobs, but the zyprexa affects us hormonally too… I have problems even having my periods now :/…
Ok, your sport is quite good. Itll keep you in shape, dont worry I told you, i just ate with no limits in the start of the zyprexa… But it has some side effects yeap… Me, i cant change it, cause i go crazier on the other aps and i tried all the 11 of them here on my market of my country … Me, i had no periods for 3 years, but recently they came back, strange… I also gained some facial white hair on my chin, which is a bit yayk… But i have friends on zyprexa and they didnt have this…
