I am almost 41. I take Mirapex and Gabapentin (Neurontin). In the last 2-3 months, I am able to (very easily, or I wouldn't have noticed, because I do not pinch my nipples for the h#ll of it) get colostrum or milk or something from my breasts. I am large-chested, but petite, but I am approx. a D or DD cup at the moment. I have not noticed this being possible at any specific time of the month. Is it the medication? My age? Normal for some women?? I nursed my son (who is 9) for ONE day. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, &/or if it will go away? I take about 300-900 mgs of Gabapentin/day (was at 2400mgs 4 mos. ago & it seems to put weight on my usually slender frame) for pain & sleep only, & 0.25 + maybe an extra .0125 mgs of Mirapex for Restless Leg Syndrome/eve. HELP! This is freaking me out! I haven't been with my partner since the end of May, & I am not intimate with anyone else (& I am most def. NOT pregnant, but I still have all the parts intact). Hated using the 5 pts!!

I have my period right now, and I can still make it happen. I feel chubby in the tummy, and my breasts get REALLY sore right before my period. I know my 28-31 day cycle really well. I couldn't even do this when I was at the end of my pregnancy. The Gabapentin also thinned my hair. I have Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, and Anxiety on and off. Please. Only qualified responses. My Dr. is away. I see my partner next week, and I don't want to gross him out, lol!

I'm in Canada. The 1-800 number doesn't work, but thank you. And Answer #1, yes, that scared me, but it doesn't run in my family at all, and I did call the local La Leche League. They said it can happen, but I am getting frustrated and want to know if anyone else has or had this. I will def. see a Dr. asap. I appreciate your quick response.

Thank you. I don't want to delete the question in case someone else is freaking out. I am so tired, I couldn't think of the word "secretion" when I was searching on the net. This link helps:

Gabapentin affects hormones b/c it's a neurotransmitter. So does Mirapex. I'm so lucky to have to take both :(. I'll still see the Dr. asap.

You need to see your Dr. or any dr. that is on call for yours.
You could have ( and not to really scare you ) breast cancer.
I do NOT know side effcts of your meds, b
ut I do know someone and that was one of the signs for it( breast cancer) and when ever I go in they ask me that quest., any secretion from your nipples.
PLEASE get checked now and dont get all worked up. The sooner the better.

any discharge from your nipples could be a sign of something wrong. as the other person said, it could be a sign of cancer. please go to the doctor! i hope that everything is fine and that this is just a side effect of your meds.

i didn't read all your question. its too long.
some drugs make your body think that you are pregnant.
some breast secretes puss while you think its milk.
if you are really bothered ask you doctor.
