Starvin

medical marjuana ## I was placed on this drug for anorexia nervousa. It works wonders for those who are starving and can not eat. I went from seventy eight pounds one hundred and seventy four pounds and now have my wieght set and one hundred sixty two pounds. This drug marinal does not make you high it just makes it possible for so many to eat and just stay alive.

i want to just s*** everything out so i can start my starves again. i ate for 3 whole days and im starving again. if i take too many is it possible to OD? ## Hi Kaylee, Sorry to hear about your situation. It's definitely possible to OD on virtually any medication. But if you're concerned about taking too much of one thing, what I would suggest is actually trying a different approach altogether. There are several types of foods you can eat throughout the day to help regulate bowel movements, so you don't have to rely on just the one medication. A combination of soluble and insoluble fiber from fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole-grains, can also help soften bowel movements. How long would you say this has been a problem for?

Today was the first day (and first dose) of taking Qsymia. I feel no different and was still starving all day. Is this a bad sign? ## It could take a few days of use for it to start having its desired effect. The FDA lists typical side effects of Qysmia as possibly including constipation, insomnia, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, and fatigue. How are you doing, now? Has there been any change? Are you on any other medications? ## I'm still exhausted and still starving all the time. I began a new job last week and don't eat while at work but am starved by the time I come home. So, I'm pretty disappointed.

I've been on Contrave for a year and now I'm starting to notice my appetite returning. I lost 70 lbs and don't want to go backwards but I'm literally starving all the time. Can I take 3 at one time instead of two and then two at night? Is that too much? I haven't had any side effects. ## No, you should not adjust your dosage, without your doctor's approval. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, nervousness, insomnia, and anorexia. Has anything else changed in your normal daily routine? Are you on any other medications? ## Did you increase your dosage? I am in my 4th month and haven't lost any weight this month. I would like to increase and take a pill mid day.

WJERE CAN I FIND FREE FOOD IN PRATTVILLE THIS WEEK ## Hi Marie, Have you tried going to your local Human Resources department to apply for Food Stamps or some other sort of temporary gov assistance?

The Human Resources page for Prattville, AL is linked below: prattvilleal.gov/departments/human-resources.html I hope this helps!

I take 4-10mg methadone. I'm worried that they also got me on 100mg Zoloft plus a 150mg Trazadone and 2- 20mg adderal. Worred about taking all this pills. I've taken these pills for 8yrs now. The Zoloft they put me on 2 months ago. I breath fine but have had it fill like my brain is starving for oxygen to the point I fill like I'm suffocating or READY to pass out. It used to be once every couple months, now it's every week it only happen if I go upstairs or carry something heavy. ## This is not medical advice, but just because a doctor prescribes you something, doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best thing you could possibly do or take for your body. They prescribe because these pharmaceutical products are the only thing at their disposal to make money off of...

I have been prescribed Wellbutrin XL 150mg/day for depression in addition to Lexapro (that I have been on for over 15 years 20mg). I feel kind of out of it, and I don't like it. I have been taking this for 6 days. Had a horrible headache the fist couple of days, but that seems to be subsiding. I have a bad taste in my mouth, but am starving. Will the "medicine head" like feeling go away soon? Or is this what I am supposed to be feeling? My mood is a lot calmer, brighter, however I feel lazy, and hard to wake up in the morning. ## Hello, Twinkies2013! How are you feeling? Yes, that is fairly typical when you first start such a medication. Things usually improve after about 4 to 6 weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. The FDA lists its typical side effects as poss...

I started using epitec today. I read all the comments on it and am completely freaked out now. Why does everybody gain so much wait on this stuff???? ## Epitec contains the active ingredient Lamotrigine; which actually has weight loss and loss of appetite listed as side effects. I can only assume that people gain weight on it because they don't know how hungry they are, or they may think that they are starving themselves due to the loss of appetite and therefore start binge eating on foods they shouldn't be eating anyways. I would just go off of how "YOU" feel while taking it, because everyone responds differently to these types of medications. I'm sure the vast majority of patients who post something bad about the drug are among only a small percentage of those who ...

Hi, I have been taking Linzess 290mg for ibs-c. I have struggled with that since my hysterectomy. I have been taking linzess for some time now and initially it didn't work which is expected. Then.....I had got the diarrhea. I took it like I was supposed to once every day at the same time every day. The diarrhea is a side effect I know of but the side effect I got recently that I do not like is I'm always hungry. After I take linzess and I "empty" every thing because of diarrhea I feel like I am always starving even though my stomach feels full and bloated. I just want and feel like I have to eat. Is this normal? Also I talked to my doctor who said that I could have gastreoperis because my stomach could not be emptying properly when I am not on the meds and when I take it...

I just want to know will I lose weight while I'm on Harvoni? I don't mind but I would like to know. ## Hello, DeeDee! How are you? I didn't see it listed in the side effects provided by the FDA, but most medications do have some affect on appetite, so it's hard to say for sure. Typical side effects may possibly include nausea, diarrhea, insomnia and headache. Are you on any other medications? ## Yes, I'm a diebetic, plus I have high blood pressure. ## Most high blood pressure medications can cause weight gain. Thus, if you've found yourself gaining some, that could be why. ## I went from 124 to 116 at my last dr visit. I’ve lost my appitite a lot though. Like I’m starving at some points but it’s physically hard to make myself eat because nothing...

I just wanted to know how keragro works and If it's for real. I would like like to try it my hair is taking for ever to grow and I would love nothing more than long thick hair rather than long and thin. I just wanna know the side effects to it if it's goin to make my hair fall out or cause any sort of serious problems before buying this product. ## Do not order kera gro! They'll initially charge you $4.95 in hopes that you won't cancel your order within the 14 day trial period then bill you $84! Go with hairfinity. Cheaper and they have proven results. Keragro doesn't even have a reputable website. ## Dont order this one. They charge 85$ even if you got any sideeffects. I had only 2 capsules and started feeling dizziness and feeling starving. Might be you will put on...

I was on Phentermine for years, which I know isn't how it's designed, but every time I relocated the doctor asked for a list of my current meds and I put it on there, so it kept cycling. In addition, I am on a few bipolar meds and Adderall. Approximately six months ago, my doctor decided that it was time to stop the Phentermine as it was a short-term drug and I had been on it for years. I was so scared of weight gain as Geodon was adding enough pounds alone. It took nearly four months to taper fully off. My experience (and for many people I know) is that when you begin Adderall it decreases your appetite, but that doesn't last forever. I'm getting a bit of my appetite back (I'm not restricting or starving myself) but I think I could be doing better or how I was doing...
