[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 116691, member: 1550"] Certain medications cause extreme hunger. I've experienced it first hand on antidepressants and gained eighty pounds, which I lost (not easy because I'm still on the medications and can still get very hungry if I don't completely cut my sugar intake). My son was on medications for a period of three years and he went from seventy pounds to one hundred and fifty in those three years. He was VERY obese and ate non-stop and nothing we did helped that. He's finally losing weight and growing (he's also off medications). Trileptal and Abilify aren't supposed to cause hunger/weight gain, but sometimes they do anyways. You may want to ask your doctor about it. I used to ask about my son's weight all the time and the psychiatrist just didn't care, even when I got frantic. We tried switching medications and Topomax and that Metaforum (is that it's name?) Nothing helped his hunger and he got a bad reaction from Topomax. We were quite relieved when he was re-evaluated and able to go off of the medications because he could barely walk. [/QUOTE]
