Painful spastic contractions at the top of my abdomen, not attributable to having gone too long without food. Say, I eat a high protein meal, drink tea and two hours later feel these dreadful hunger pangs, or wake up from them in the middle of the night despite having eaten supper at bedtime. And eat in the middle of the night to quell them and go back to sleep and then need to eat breakfast again at 7AM. And it is getting worse, despite the fact that I am on Mounjaro and Topamax.

Has anyone had them? The endocrinologist did not have anything useful to suggest except that Seroquel can cause hunger but how can 75 Seroquel do it when in the past I was on 500-800 mg Seroquel and this did not happen? Plus, I have been on my current Seroquel treatment since last spring and hunger pangs returned in December.

I had hunger pangs in 2021 and at that time they were attributable to Zyprexa. Switching to Lybalvi did not help. I do not take Zyprexa anymore.

I have just read a long article about hunger pangs on the website of Cleveland Clinic and nothing addresses what I am experiencing. Of course, I am glad that the endocrinologist confirmed that my hormonal bloodwork was normal, but what do I do now?

I have lost all the pleasure from eating.
