This is a question mostly for those of you with IBS or related bowel "issues"... or digestion issues.... all of which may be preexisting conditions or brought on by certain medications. (So I've made a separate thread for this.)

In general, I rarely feel hunger. Like, I can literally go all day without feeling hungry. I've more or less always been like this, but I think Lamictal has totally killed whatever appetite I had left. So, I basically eat because I'm supposed to eat, not because I actually feel hungry. Then because I have IBS-D, food goes right through me... so there's that too... hence weight loss.

I have Bentyl I can take to stop the spasming in my intestines, but like... I'm supposed to take that with food, and well... I'm not hungry! It's also a pain in the *** to bring Bentyl with me everywhere... but since starting Lamictal, I can't even remember the last time my stomach growled

And yep, thyroid is totally fine. Not a metabolism issue.

Does anyone else experience this? Have certain medications made it worse? I feel like Lamictal screwed me over!
