Gynecomastia : From pharmaceutical drug use usually does resolve with cessation of the offending drug. However with risperdal, its appears lawsuits are being filed because of this suggesting it may not resolve. Regardless, surgery is an option to 'normalize' your chest if you wish to resolve this problem.

Possibly.: Impossible to predict, with any degree of certainty, whether gynecomastia related to the use of any specific drug, will dissipate once the specific drug use is terminated. This may be one of the situations where the "only time will tell”. If the gynecomastia remains persistent, surgical intervention may be worthwhile; usually consists of direct excision of gland and/or liposuction surgery.
