Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I am one of those people that has gained a ton of weight since starting Gleevec. I admit that a lot of it has to do with not exercising enough. HOWEVER, I have never been eating so much in my life. I need to control my appetite, but have had trouble doing so. Has anyone tried an appetite suppressant, and if so, what kind ? OR, do you have another way to control an appetite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I HEAR YOU! I have gained almost 50 pounds and I eat a big dinner, and immediately feel like I could eat another. I am constantly hungry. I also take lyrica and neurontin for foot neuropathy, and they seem to cause weight gain too. I don't know what to tell you. Let's both do research and see what we can find, and then share the info on the list.
