I have been taking finasteride for some years. My wife asked if I was taking anything to make my breasts grow (that is part of another story). I didn't know then that the med would cause that. Last year I started taking lautuda and I started getting pain and itching in both breasts. Had a mammogram that was clear and diagnosed with mild gyno. My wife suggested a padded bra to keep them from getting bumped too much.  Stopped the latuda and the pain subsided. Switched to olanzapine and pain came back. Tried another non antipsychotic but didn't help my mental symptoms. Now started seroquel.  Low dose so waiting to see what happens. Is the minimal growth caused by the finasteride or the other meds? Or both? They look bigger in the picture than they really are although the padding is very thin.
