What Happens If You Stop Taking Apetito Pills (Top voted first)
UpdatedI've been using Apetito for 2 years now and I sometimes gained weight very fast, like within a week. However I noticed if I stop taking Apetito I end up losing weight. I'd be curious to find out what happens when others stop taking their Apetito pills and if there's any unusual amount of weight loss you may have experienced from doing so? Apetito is okay because it does help increase your appetite, but it really can make you eat a lot which is the reason why you gain weight. I just know that if taken everyday and eating a lot of food then you will naturally end up gaining weight very fast. Yes, Apetito works.

It's therefore important to work closely with one's doctor to gradually taper/titrate your Apetito dosage accordingly, if discontinuing, to allow the body to adjust and prevent extreme weight fluctuations or elevated cortisol levels (stress hormones) all of which can impact the health of one's metabolism. Sudden or excessive weight loss after stopping Apetito could indicate an underlying medical issue, so it's advisable to monitor progress and discuss any concerns with your doctor in advance. Maintenance of a nutritious diet and lifestyle, rather than medications, are the optimal long-term approach to achieving a healthy weight, but in the meantime, I’d just be cautious and take it one step at a time.

Even me. I used Apetito for only 5 days now and my stomach is becoming big like I'm pregnant.
Re: Relebohile (# 1)
I've used them for 3 days. Now my stomach is hurting and the subsequent pain is growing everyday.
I've been using Apetito for 4 months. Yes, they do work, but I've got a new problem now... I didn't take any Apetito during the months of December and January, and now I'm no longer seeing my periods. Should I be worried?
Re: Vinolia (# 5)
I am pregnant as well and have been losing weight as a result of not having any appetite. Did Apetito have any negative effects on your pregnancy?

Did you lose the wait after you stopped taking them for 2 months ?
