Now I am depressed and need treatment for depression ????

Not all anti-depressants/anti-psychotics are created equal, but u right bunny, "bigger boobs". Though paroxetine (Paxil) influenced breast growth more than others by 39%, twenty-three out of 59 patients. However, 84% of the study group had increased weight gain. Anti-psychotics pack on the pounds too. 

SSRI's increase prolactin, that's the increase in breast growth from what I see, which doesn't make sense cause SSRI's tend to stomp on estrogen production, so go figure. On a side note, Prozac controls appetite rather well.

I wouldn't rush for a script myboobs, the side effects are a pain in ass, imo. Alcohol also increases prolactin too, you've all heard that alcoholism can feminize livers in genetic males, raise prolactin and induce gynecomastia, too.

Abstract
Recent reports of mammoplasia during selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) therapy suggested that this side effect may be more common than previously reported. We examined 59 women receiving > or = 2 months treatment with an SSRI or venlafaxine for changes in breast size in relation to menopausal status, weight gain and duration of drug therapy. Serum prolactin, estradiol and beta-hCG were also measured before and during treatment in a subgroup of patients. Twenty-three out of 59 patients (39%) reported some degree of mammoplasia. Significantly more SSRI vs. venlafaxine patients reported mammoplasia (p < 0.01). Eighty-four percent with mammoplasia had weight gain vs. 30% without mammoplasia (p < 0.001). The rate of mammoplasia was unrelated to age, menopausal status or duration of treatment. Serum prolactin increased during treatment in the paroxetine subgroup (p < 0.03). In conclusion, antidepressant-induced mammoplasia may be more common than previously expected.

So you know what this means right? .
