I take invega and I saw an ad on tv saying people who take risperdal or invega are at risk of gynecomastia, which is male breast growth. Apparently there are 100s of cases and boys grow female like breasts.

I am 32 and I have put on weight and my chest area is bigger.. so I'm gonna go to my doctor and get it checked. Although I had to call a number and ask them if they could get me checked they said an attorney will get back to me. So is anyone else taking this and have noticed something out of ordinary?

I'm under community treatment order which means I have to accept the treatment which is very hard and I'm gonna talk about this on Sep 9 when I go for injection and possibly see my psychiatrist.

I take Risperdal 3mg and the only side effect (so far) is constant drowsiness.
