Can you tell me any chance that taking/took anti-psychotic meds causes development of permanent feminine man boobs?

Risperidone is the: psychotics/mood stabilizer most likely to cause sustained increased prolactin levels, causing gynecomastia (man-boobs), reduced testosterone levels & risk of osteoporosis, the latter especially in sedentary smokers. Talk to your psychiatrist about referral to an endocrinologist & the possibility of reducing doses or changing medications. Please don't change anything without medical supervision.
