Another topic made me want to start this thread. What kinds of medicines will actually make a person hungry?

If I have too much thyroid hormone medication because my doctors want to suppress my residual thyroid from growing, it makes me VERY hungry. Like all the time I could be eating and want more.

Anti depressants can cause a person to gain weight.

years ago I had a client who took Abilify. He gained 30 pounds rapidly using that. Abilify is sometimes used for people with bipolar disorder and weight gain is a side effect. A lot of behavioral health medications also cause dry mouth
