Hi All, I've not posted in a while as I've been in denial of having Bipolar. Big mistake!!

Anyhoo, so I'm now finally on the right track with meds and a new pdoc who is a Bipolar expert. That's making a HUGE difference in mood and anxiety and psychotic symptoms. I'm at 400 mg Tegretol and until recently I was also on 300 mg Gabapentin. My boobs have been increasing in soreness... and swelling! Now I'm not complaining AT ALL being a negative AA cup and having people call me flat chested etc etc. (I have not gained weight from any of these AC.)

I researched online and found something on Lamictal doing this but not much else. Do you guys get the boob job for free thing too?? Will it last???

LOL

You're awesome.

Now about this natural boob enhancing supplement ....

I have heard of it but no none of my meds have caused it for me.

Long may this last for you

Awww shucks thanks!!! I do hope it lasts too but not that it turns into milk leaks which I've read about caused by some APs. (I might even put up with milk pouring out just to have this benefit...I'll prob just change out tissues every now and then which will add to the enhancement anyway).

Someone should add a smilie icon of sudden boob growth and a shocked look turning into a HUGE smile.

If your producing fluid then its likely that your prolactin levels are too high. I had this problem when I took Risperdal years ago. I had to stop the medication. With in a week or so things were back to "normal"

This is a huge problem for males taking Risperdal .. There is a class action lawsuit for males that grew breasts while taking it.

("Negative". SO hear you!! I've wanted to rant saying, "Hey, if you don't get a negative number doing that stupid soul-crushing calculation, don't even talk to me about understanding!" Yeah, I've got serious issues...)

Hope you are spared the lactation thing.

Nope, no milk yet!! It feels sore like when you start birth control pills. I'm also taking spironolactone and I know Tegretol chops down other drugs, which is counterintuitive in that spironolactone increases estrogen. (Maybe this is the secret recipe? spironolactone + AC = bigger boobs)

I haven't had to buy all new bras but where before there was a horrid gap between bra and skin, there is now the look of overspill. It's like OMG I actually have cleavage!!! If only I was diagnosed back in middle school...
