Appetite increase with Loritabs and/or anti-depressants.

[Getrude]

Does anyone have any scientific information about the increase in appetite while taking large doses of Loritabs over a several year period?  And....would anti-depressant and Loritabs affect the appetite leading one to binge eating?

Thanks,

i ve read many articles were anti/depres can cause weight gain esp lexapro.  i ve also read where opiates cause puffiness...not sure about weight gain.   when i was on opiates i was thin because i never ate too much...after opiates i ate like crazy...still do...substituting one addiction for another.  i need a good healthy diet. i eat too much junk...maria

A nti-depressants CAN pack on the pounds, personal not Scientific, depend on the med and your response to it.  Or it could cause weight loss.  I think Lortabs play a role in the binging, the combo, then again personal not scientific.  What I's do is freak because i wasnt getting enough exercise knew the anti-dep could pack th weight on and wait as long as I could for a real meal.  Snacking here and there.  I follow Dr Perricones weight loss diet, which has lot sof supplements and I',ve added a few of my own, like "Leptitrim".
Maybe the Supplements are why I'm not seeming to have as bad a detox from Hydro as I did once before.  Hope this helps.  Binge healthy.  Go to Richards whole foods they have all kinds of healthy goodies.  Good Luck, mean that!
