Hi! So I recently was prescribed megestrol, for my weight gain. I had an eating disorder and my doctor just told me to take it. I would take two 20mg pills a day, once in the morning, the other at night. I was having extreme side effects, didn’t sleep for two nights, stomach pains, etc.. it was also causing reactions with my antidepressant (sertraline). I was constantly shakey, so I decided I need to stop after my third dose. My doctor will not get in contact with me or is responding. Just trying to figure out if I need to seek medical attention? I’m experiencing drowsiness on my first day without it, and stomach pains. Thank you in advance!
I stopped taking my megestrol after a day and a half of taking it, should I be worried?

It would still be best to talk to a doctor, but given the information that you only took the medication for a day and a half you should be OK. Always frustrating when the doctor doesn't respond. Good luck.
