NightLily Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 This is kind of an embarrassing question for me, but I can't find any information online. I'm currently taking Lamictal and recently Seroquel. Lamictal is an antiseizure med that is a mood stabilizer for BP. Has anybody been on medications that made your bust size increase? I have been noticing a huge difference that seems to be getting worse by the day. I literally am not fitting into my bras anymore (I'm usually about a C but now.. Oo). My stomach is still as flat as it was and I haven’t been weighing myself so I can't really tell if I have just been putting on weight. The change is rapid enough that it literally looks like I have implants and it is kind of uncomfortable. mmmm Link to comment
jul-els Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 You should probably get it checked out asap. Link to comment
NightLily Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 As in go to a doctor or the psychiatrist? Link to comment
Lamour detruit Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I looked around after seeing which things you were taking,and it appears it is the Lamictal that is causing it: link removed It seems you are not alone with this phenomenon. I don't think this is a big problem, but I suppose just to be sure keep an eye on it...Perhaps bring it up with the doc next time you go. Link to comment
COtuner Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Doctor. I've never had bust size increase but I've had medications that would put 20-30 pounds (no joke) of water weight on me. So I believe anything is possible. Maybe it's having a pseudo-estrogenic effect? Link to comment
dragon lady Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I just googled "lamictal" and "breasts" and it seems like a bunch of people have experienced tenderness. Someone even suggests that it alters your hormone levels, which could possibly result is breast growth. These weren't proper studies or anything, but I'd say you're not the only one experiencing this. Link to comment
NightLily Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 In the link Lamour put up somebody else had the same thing. I did notice that my last period was more painful then they had been previously. Its just really odd and doesn't even look like me when I look down Oo Link to comment

PoisonIvy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 or every guy is going to send a link to this thread to his gf. Well, now I know to wait in anticipation for the SO to argue for it. In response to your query, Suzy, I would suggest that you discuss the matter the next time you see your doctor. It can't hurt to ask if it's normal or harmful. If you are concerned, you definitely should talk to someone in the medical profession about it. Link to comment
midnightrambler Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 or every guy is going to send a link to this thread to his gf. i am Lamictal intolerant Link to comment
Sky-Cherries Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have gran mal, petite mal and abscence seizures {I know, hit the jackpot, didn't I?} During my late teen years I was taking Lamictal as well. I was an A cup when I started on it, and when I went off it a year later I was a C-D cup. After switching to 1000 mgs twice a day of Epilem, I shot up from a D cup to a JJ cup, in less than two years. I got myself looked at, turns out I had VBH. The Epilem was said to cause breast growth, welllll....turns out it didn't. I'd go to the doc to check it out. Link to comment
NightLily Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Wow.. ^ Now I'm pretty worried Oo. I think I'm going to start some sort of moderate diet to make sure there isn't something I can do about it. If I keep noticing a change, I'm going to head to the doctor for sure. I just can't afford a medication change right now! Oy...... Link to comment
