[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 104697, member: 2423"] Terry, an increase in prolactin resulting in developing breasts in boys is a side effect of taking atypical antipsychotics like Risperdal. Notwilling2giveup, if this difficult child has bipolar disorder, he's not on a first-line mood stabilizer (Lithium, Depakote, Lamictal, Tegretol and Trileptal). Furthermore, antidepressants like Effexor XR and stimulants like Vyvanse can make teens with BiPolar (BP) much, much worse. Even Geodon has been known to induce mania in some kids. My guess is these medications are making him worse, not better. I agree with others who have urged you to get a second opinion with a new child and adolescent psychiatrist who can do a medication overhaul. Sounds as if that's what he really needs. Welcome. I'm glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
