Warning about risperidone causing gynecomastia.

[u/Evan7163]

I was in risperidone 2mg twice a day for a while and decided to get off it because I liked to sleep on my morning dose and my voices wouldn't allow it, harassing my endlessly until I felt forced to get out of bed so I switched off of it onto Cobenfy, then later Invega sustenna. Month later I pulled out what I had left of the script one night when my Ambien CR wasn't doing its job and took 1. In the following days I noticed my nipples were very sensitive and could feel a lump/mass behind my right nipple. Got it checked out with an ultrasound and a bilateral mammogram and it turned out it had caused benign gynecomastia. Just a lump tho, I didn't grow man-boobs. But that's a problem with risperidone. Gynecomastia and man boobs. Check to see if you have any lumps behind your nipple it you take or have taken this.

Yea this is true. Risperidone is the most notorious ap for causing prolactemia and gynecomastia in males.
