B vitamins, also, there is an anti-depressant drug called Remeron that stimulates my app. like nothing else can. Really amazing. Cold weather cardio, or swimming makes me hungry too. Not to mention sex. I usually live on shakes when I'm not hungry.

Yeah, your right. It's a trip how two people with very similar goals and approaches can have such diffenent results. Try a CNS stimulate like Adipex or Dexadrine. Very effective.

well, I was just making a joke in my original post, but pot does work well for stimulating the appetite. If you possess the control to eat properly when stoned I think you could easily cram down 1500 calories in chicken breast and rice without even getting full

I just wish the government wouldn't be so unnecessarily protective of it. If reasonable research were allowed on it maybe we could isolate such beneficial aspects like the appetite increase...

Sorry for the long pause Tom! Yes, you need a doc's Rx. Depression, obesity, narcolepsy, and ADD are the main reasons it is prescribed. If you want to obtain it, just elaborate on your inability to focus and concentrate. Tell him your depressed to and often fatigued for no obvious reason. He'll run some tests and you might get what you want.

that is simply incorrect extrapolation from a study done with rats, I have argued this many, many, many times (just ask bobo)

Anyway, I'd say.... check out some other herbs first

First of all, you're not the only one
Here something that can help:

-fenugreek may work (I havent tried it yet).
-Colder temperatures usually helps the appetite
-If you are using PH, certain compounds make you hungry (m4ohn for istance)
-Avoid stuff that say it may reduce appetite

Periactin has the reputation of increasing appetite.
