This is one for the ladies, sorry guys!
I have been lactating for the past two years now and only today when Patty mentioned lactating did it occur to me that it could be the Effexor.
It has been so bad that I started getting abscesses on my breasts caused by the milk clogging the pores of the tissue. The doctors, especially male seem to just snicker and give me antibacterial topical creams. The women medical professions scold me for expressing the milk and say that this will just make it continue, but I would rather squeeze it out than get more scars on my breasts from the infections. My self esteem and body image is bad enough with the depression. I can even "feel" when it is too full and time to squeeze.
Does anyone else have this bizarre lifestyle and is there any help?
