In reply to appetite suppressant for Zyprexa hunger?, posted by 4WD on January 3, 2008, at 21:14:58
I know there are fairly benign drugs out there for other health conditions that probably cause a lack of appetite. I don't know what they are, but I'm sure they exist.
How about good ole H2O. Drink 2 to 4 liters of water every day. That is not only healing and healthy but also anti-appetite.
Probably the most appetite suppressing drug I ever took was low dose Naltrexone added to Prozac, supposedly works good with SSRIs for depression. It did help a little bit. The lack of appetite was fierce. Appetite did return to normal after a few weeks though, so I'm not sure any drug will work longterm. Just drink tons of water.
Though it takes a couple months to get used to it, carry around a lot things to munch on all the time that are weight friendly and healthy, such as carrots, celery, peppers, fruits. It is hard at first, you get real sick of eating the same damn ole things all day long. After a while though your body actually starts to prefer them over other foods and you feel healthier all around.
There's nothing wrong with having drug-induced hunger in my humble opinion, as long as the foods or liquids that are consumed to satisfy that hunger are healthy and extremely low in calories.
