For Anorexia: I'm not anorexic but I'm a really small woman right now and can not gain weight at all. I have a nutritionist and still no difference so I went to my Dr on 10/8/19 and so far my appetite has picked up over 50%. I'm eating more off my plates and snacking a lot more than usual. I see where people are starting off taking whole pills right away but my Dr told me a half a pill (4mg) 4x a day for 21 days then 2 whole pills 4x a day. I was at 100lb but I haven't weighed myself but will my next appt. I see my nutritionist 10/26/19 and I'll get weighed in. I'll check back in then but if no change then I'll check in in 2 months when I see my PCP for a check up,and the best thing about it is my Medicaid pays for it. I'm also hypothyroidism so you'd think I'd gain weight alone. I have severe allergies living in Oklahoma lol and take allergy medicine with inhalers as well everyday and if this also helps with allergies then I can kill 2 birds with one stone and stop the inhalers and montelukast. |

For Anorexia: I've been skinny my whole life basically. I'm 5'4", 18 yrs. old and weigh only 98 pounds I asked my doc is there anything I could do to gain at least 10 pounds so I could feel healthier and better about myself. She told me to just learn to love myself more but I guess she didn't understand that I love everything about me but I would love to put on some extra pounds. Well I started taking these last night and I would highly recommend NOT taking these if you have somewhere to be or something to do. My appetite skyrocketed and I ate everything in sight, but when I'm at least a month into these I'll update on everything.
