Even my medical GP didn't agree with the medication that my pdoc wanted to give me to increase my appetite when I was struggling with anorexia after a bad trauma that I was going through when my mom was dying of cancer.

I honestly wouldn't take a medication just to increase appetite....I would use therapy because it's our thought process that's screwed up & it's only therapy that can truly help it

I don't have to worry about influencing my dog's appetites but I do have to be well enough to care for them so staying at a healthy weight has taken over what is a requirement in my own life. I eat healthy foods even though once in awhile I will snack on chips or seasonal candy that I enjoy but it's not a NORM. Once I got stable after the anorexia this last time I've been able to stay within a healthy zone that is up & down a little from the lowest healthy BMI for me.....it gives me a chance to enjoy socializing with friends & know that it's not going to stay at that point but staying healthy & eating good & healthy foods.....even though there are days when I totally forget to eat because having dealt with the anorexia....my body doesn't always tell me that it's hungry or time to eat.
