Okay, so I started changing my anxiety medication. I thought Klonopin wasn't doing a good enough job because I would get so upset when the area my galbladder is in would hurt. So my doctor gave me Xanex, which didn't even do a dent. I felt NOTHING at all unless I took like 6mg, which is bad, you shouldn't do that. So I got a step above Xanex called Risperadol.

 

One of the side effects that my doctor assured me would probably not happen was lactating. That's right, milk from the boobies. I laughed that one off because almost every medication I've been on has gone smoothely with the worst side effect being dry mouth.

 

All right, it'd been exactly a week since I started it, I liked it better than Xanex, but it made me more drowsy than Klonopin. So I woke up on the one week exact and my breasts were really sore. I thought it was from having my period. So I'm getting dressed after I showered and dried off. First the panties, then the jeans, then make up and hair, then bra... but something is different. My bra would not fit. So I check the straps and try to put it on again thinking I had the wrong hook. Nope, still doesn't fit. So I'm looking in the mirror and came to the conclusion that my period made my boobs swell, its happened before but not to that extent. I figured it was because of the stress of Christmas. So I'm rubbing my boobies because they are a little sore and seriously the wiedest thing happens...

 

I was facing the mirror, and my boob squirts milk. I am lactating to the max. And it's not clear fluid, it looks just like milk, it's even cold! So I tey just squeezing it all out into a paper towel. I thought it was done, but no, not done. I could feel the glands in the breast refilling over and over again, so I looked up on the internet how to stop lactating, and it said to wear a tight sports bra. So I did that, and of course on top of that it gave me a constant hot flash so I would take the dog out at night when it was 45 out.

 

Anyways, it's pretty much stopped to the point where I was comfortable going out, and on top of that my best friend Lindsy was very understanding, like always. So we would leave when I started to leak or get uncomfortable.

Re: Ooooh! I can't believe I forgot this!!
HAHAHAHA!!!! I took that same med and it did the same thing to me!  I had nipple rings at the time, so I had to take them out.  It fucking freaked me out though, cause I was fucking a guy at the time, so yeah... But then I remembered about that side effect for that med.  But I didn't do a whole lot of it, and it ended up drying up.  So now that I took out my nipple rings, I can still squeeze a little bit of milk out it and it still goes out the right place too!  It is insane...

I'm just about to go off of Klonopin, and I have a new drug, Trazodone, that is supposed to help with sleep and anxiety.  I've tried Xanax and I really liked it, but for whatever reason the doc never suggests that.

A lot of the time doctors profile patients that are high risk for addiction, and instead of giving them drugs that people commonly know about, they use obscure drugs with the same ingredients.

Jeez....I don't see how I'd be high risk for addiction, but maybe they know something I don't.  It wasn't until a few years ago that I actually saw my diagnoses on my chart, and that blew me away!

Re: Ooooh! I can't believe I forgot this!!
Yeah, a good doctor is hard to come by. I understand the reason why my doctor gives me the stuff I've never heard because I'm bipolar I. The highs and lows are difficult without the bipolar medication, I've done some SUPER dumb stuff before I was diagnosed and got medication. I think every anxiety medication has a risk of dependency.

 

Stuff that puts you at higher risks are things like parents drinking, parents divorcing, sexual abuse, molestation, previous hard drug use, etc. Even being adopted. There are reports out there that prove babies that weren't breast fed are more likely to have trouble in school, trouble with law, and drugs. It's like racial profile. Kinda lame.

Wow.  That is pretty lame.

Yeah. I learned not to mention stuff that didn't have a big affect on me that could be blown out of proportion by a do-good pychiatrist. But I like the one I have, he understands what life is like for me, and that I just need stable stuff I can control.

Re: Ooooh! I can't believe I forgot this!!
ya know, in my years of therapy, i never thought to not tell them certain stuff.  shit, i'm going to school for this and i didn't even think of it that way!  i was able to fool the psych to let me out of the 72 hour detox thing, so i'm able to fool people, but....i should know better than to let my guard down, lol.  Those tricky docs always take every little thing and blow it into something huge.  Like the fact that I used to smoke....they act like i smoked a carton a week or something.  psshhtt!!
