If only! Speaking as a former (pre-emsam) hypersomniac, the opposite was true for me. I was more likely to lose weight in the few times when I slept less (due to having more energy. On emsam, I'm sleeping ALOT less, but don't have more energy... which is partially due to the low blood pressure problems I've had with it).My weight gains that seemed to correlate with certain drugs (e.g., Paxil) seemed related to changes in appetite, e.g., more intense cravings. What regulates that?
