My new meds are working but they make me feel like I'm STARVING all day long. I don't want to switch meds but I also don't want to gain weight.

Had a doctor explain, an OBGYN of all types, that these meds sometimes set off a carb craving that once started, difficult to wean. Would be nice, if there was nutrition training to help develop a plan, to avoid the cravings. Finding ways to fill up, and tricking the brain into feeling full would be great. Seltzer water, is one way I can think that can help. Better than plain water, the carbonation plays a factor. Zero calories, zero sodium.

Prednizone increases my appetite. The emotions increase my food intake. Not easy going here.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
