Lactation aloneis justification to change meds usually, but if you are otherwise happy with the meds effects, hopefully you can find ways to tolerate it.

Yeah, I was on thorazine before and had the same side effect. I'm on both thorazine and geodon now. I was just on geodon before and didn't get this side effect so it's most likely the thorazine again. I told my social worker and am meeting with my psychiatrist on the 3rd. They said that if it's working they might not change it because I have difficulty taking pretty much all other APs because of weight gain. I would probably take lactation over weight gain so yeah.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know anything about MRIs? I've been having (possibly delusional) thoughts that I have brain damage and it's really distressing so I feel like having one would put my mind at ease. If I need a legitimate reason to get one, I can always point to the fact that I was supposed to get tested for epilepsy and never did... I just hate this obsessive thought...
