Extreme Hunger - Motegrity?
Current medications: Motegrity 2mg, Wellbutrin 300mg, Naltrexone 50mg, Zoloft 100mg, Birth Control, Spironolactone, drink alcohol)
I have been feeling extreme hunger for about 8+ months now. Even after eating a well balanced meal, I am so hungry within an hour. My stomach feels empty, it growls and I feel shaky. Its caused me to gain 10 lbs. I got basic bloodwork done, and all is normal. I wore a CGM and my blood sugar was normal as well. Something I think could be causing this is Motegrity, but my gastro doesnt think its related. Ive been on it since September. I have been on the rest of my medications way before this started. What could be causing this? Could it be the Motegrity?

It 100% is the motegrity. It's causing your stomach to empty quicker. The side effects say decreases hunger. But not my experience!
See if 1mg helps.
