okay I am a female so you would think I would just enjoy this side effect (my boobs are an entire size larger and a cup size larger as well!)
But I want to have a baby and have read that high level of prolactin can cause infertility. I am going to my doctor Thursday to get my prolactin level tested. We have been trying to get pregnant for awhile and my boobs are getting bigger and bigger (sorry to be so blunt!)but no baby.
Anyway, this STARTED to get really bad when I increased my dose of Wellbutrin. At first I thought it was the effexor I was on as well (from reading about it) so I lowered the effexor it staying with the 300 mg of wellbutrin I increased about a year ago. I am truly suspicious of the Wellbutrin causing this to be honest because I am taking only 12mg of effexor a day and it is not stopping but only getting worse.
Anyway, I have read alot that says that Wellbutrin and dopamine enhancing drugs decrease prolactin but I really think the Wellbutrin is the culprit. I once saw one person write on here that dopamine enhancing drugs does this to them so I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else on Wellbutrin?
