A member asked:
Gynecomastia does it persist after antipsychotics discontinued?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Probably: Quite likely, depending on your age. As we age, a natural propensity toward gynecomastia may be provoked or hastened by medications. Consult with your local plastic surgeon regarding options for treatment.

Possible but...: 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.
