skp67 Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Has anyone thats been on this drug eever experienced breast swelling, tenderness. My boobs have gone from being a non existent 34a to a 36 double d. I hate them so much its ruling my life right now, i have seen my psych doc this week who just said take them or come back into hospital for a total meds review. I am wary to do that after spending the majority of last year sectioned there. I am in a real turmoil about it, i have come so close to self harming them so bad but my husband stops me.

Lily-Bee Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Stupid question maybe but youre not pregnant? Are you on any other drugs? Ive never heard of anti d's doing this(doesnt mean its not possible) but its a common side effects for some anti ps. I guess what you have to ask yourself is what weighs more;this side effects troubeling you or having to go back into hosp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insideoutgirl Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I have just looked on http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/drug-information/DR601237/DSECTION=side-effects It lists Breast enlargement or tenderness as a rare side effect. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skp67 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 There is no way i could be pregnant as i have had a total hysterectomy almost 4 yrs ago, i'm not allowed hrt due to close family having breast cancer. My other medication consist of Sertraline 150mg Quetiapine 600mg Epilim 1200mg Zopiclone 7.5mg and various health related ones. Amitrityline 25mg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jades Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 i don't know about all of them but quetiapine can make u gain loads of weight, sertraline i was just put on and i've lost on it i can't tollerate moree than 100mg but i know it says it can cause facial swelling and if so to head to gp right away so perhaps it's manifestid in u another way.....whith ur female situation obviously it's not possible but some people have false pregnancies but either way something seems wrong there and i'd definately demand a full work up xxxxxx just a thought and not trying to worry u but have u had a check for breast cancer? xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddy harper Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 i have been on that drug and i did not like it at all. i didn't like the way it made me feel or the way it made my heart and head race at an alarmingly fast rate.

skp67 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I must say my anxiety levels have been heightened for a couple of months now aswell. I'm seeing my support worker tomorrow before she's off for 2 weeks, she understands what i am saying and said she will back me but wouldnt come to the pdoc appointment last week.
