zyprexa turned me from an anorexic to a binge eater, if you are looking for a substance that will make you hungry Zyprexa made me gain 100lb in 3 months
Hhhggg:
How long after you started taking the medication did it take for u to become an eating machine?
These types of medication usually take so time to have an effect?
Did you experience any other side effects ?
I wanted to ad that weed is also a good appetite enhancer 🤝😉
I’ll actually add that I had a similar experience with zyprexa, gaining about 20lbs in a month
*BUT*
The stuff also caused highly dangerous amounts of hypertension. I nearly fainted multiple times while in the minimum dose. It would consistently put my resting blood pressure around 200/120. I had great psych benefits from taking the med but antipsychotics are a problematic medication class that I would not recommend unless you need. My health response was abnormal mind, my chemistry is far from what a (relatively) normal person experiences but even for a normal person these meds can be problematic.
I’ve also taken seroquel and geodon which have similar effects but seroquel caused greatly intensified sleep apnea and geodon spiked my heart rate to around 100bpm resting and I almost had a cardiac event when I had a panic attack in tandem with the medication. Once again my health is fucky but like this stuff isn’t unheard of, even causing permanent problems after ceasing the meds.
Now I’m not a licensed doctor, my experience just comes from working in the space and taking a lot of these (for their intended purposes) but they all carry risks. If someone was really intent, I might say to ask their doctor about mirtazapine as it’s typically better tolerated from my anecdotal experience seeing others on it. It’s often prescribed explicitly as an appetite stimulant and I hear less complaints but it’s still an antipsychotic.
I know concern trolling is something we’re all just really done with here and y’all can do what you want. Just above all else don’t start taking or asking for stuff on a whim. Know what your getting into in advance.
