help me gain weight!!


Question Posted Tuesday October 4 2005, 6:39 pm

Im skinny, and i have been for my whole life. Im 5'10'', 105, and im NOT anorexic. I just started thise new medication, Adderall, for my narcolepsy, and it seems to be helping but one of the side affects is...anorexia/loss of appetite. since i started this medication i only eat once a day, and its something really small like a bowl of soup, pickle, ice cream, etc. I cant stop taking the medicine, so i need some suggestions. Is there some pill i can buy at my local Wal-greens that will make me hungry? Please help me because now, when i look/think about food, i feel sick. I can't get any skinner or i will dissapear!! Thank you for any help i really need to get some weight.
THANKS<333

This isnt an advice question! You need the DOCTOR girl before you end up in hospital!

This is serious and please disregard any other advice not from an adult which I am. If you can only eat soup and once a day we have a big problem. You need to go to your doctor and tell him or her exactly what is happening on the phone and in person. This is not right regardless of any other medical condition. You need to eat regularly and retain your food. Go to emergency ASAP and check into a hospital and have them look you over. This is that kind of emergency situation.

Mention to them that this loss of apetite and inability to eat seems to be a side-effect. Why the hell would they give a medication that can cause an eating disorder to a young girl? Are you sure that is indeed a REAL side-effect?

Next, if anyone on here says go get X, YZ from over the counter etc LET ME KNOW that is dangerous suggestion and I will have to report it. No pill from Wal-Greens is going to help you retain weight or make you eat.

All you have to do is go to emergency at the local hospital and tell them I cannot eat anything but this, I'm hungry and tired and the medication is not working for me.

What they will do is keep you there until your doctor or someone on call can look you over including your stomach, find out what is not working and then they will adjust your medication so you can in fact eat and function normally again and watch out for certain signs.

While you have to have the medication you have to eat and retain your weight too. They will tell you how to do all of this and perhaps assign a nutritionist to help build your strength up. Some pills can also make you feel more hungry than need be or not at all. Point that out to them. They may if you cannot eat or are dehydrated put you on an IV of fluids.

So, what do you need to do? Put on your shoes and coat and go to the emergency room and get checked out. Doing anything less than that will not solve your problems. This is a serious issue and must be dealt with as such and without fear and you can do that. You will feel so much better afterward even if all they do is adjust the dose of a medication. It is very importanr whenever you feel or see something weird happening to get pills adjusted.

my friends brother is also skinny like that too, so he takes these weight pills that make you gain weight. Maybe look at like a Rite- Aid for it. If you cant find any ask your doctor.
