Hello im new to this but yea, SO i heard alot of good things about Apetamin and i order the pills and i should get them this friday 3/17/17 and i cant wait to start them. After i had my son 3 yrs ago I struggled w my weight i was 86 pounds. I am 5'2. i was soo insecure i eat 2 times a day maybe 1, i am not anorexic by the way i just dont ever have the appetite, i work 2 jobs plus dealing w my son i kinda forget to eat, hard to believe but its true. RN i am 91 (3/15/17) and ive been eating everything i can but my METABOLISM is realllly fast. I cant gain weight so i hope this APETAMIN WORKSSS. My weight goal is 115. & i just wanna add that none of my family members (both sides) arent small so its not like in my blood or anything... I know is going to take time. But does anybody knows how fast apetamin works? Please someone let me know.

Read this thread. If you are only eating 1-2x a day, your metabolism isn't that fast.. its just your ability to consume enough high calorie foods to put you in an adequate range that would enable you to gain weight. I have a bunch of tips and foods/drinks in that thread that you can use. Also, being active as an RN is going to make this a bit harder.
Also, apetamin will work about about 25% of the people (at least according to the few scientist on here) as it's an antihistamine which has a side effect of appetite stimulation. But I would suggest that you need to figure out a strategy to be able to sustain those gains.
From the members on here, there has only really been one that has been considered successful. Most others gain weight, but it tends to be all in their stomach (since it's excessively fast weight gain from huge calories surpluses) and generally fall off once they stop taking it.
I'd also caution you about gaining weight really quick as it's will be almost all fat. I'd also try to start increasing meal frequency as that can stimulate ghrelin production which can increase hunger signals.4 -
You'll gain fat and come back and complain. Every Apetamin thread ends that way.2

thank you @psulemon-1

@trigden1991 idc if i get too fat lol ive never been 100 pounds only when i was pregnant. i can always work out and get in shape. I JUST WANT TO GAIN WEIGHT0
-
I'd look long term. What are you actually trying to achieve. Because, it would be much easier to set up a long term strategy, than be reactionary in nature and only address short term goals. Quite often, people fail long term because they chase short term goals.
So what do you really want in a body?1 -
@psulemon well i just want to reach 115 pounds and thats it after im 115 pounds and if i get an "ugly" stomach then ill work out ( i dnt mind working out) but to be honest I just want to gain weight and thats it. RN im skinny 91 pounds but i got curves so I know if i gain weight ofc those curves will be bigger lol (all females in my family have big butts)0

I can understand that. I would still probably recommend that at least you do some resistance training, even if its a body weight program (like the ones in link below). It won't prevent you from gaining at all and it will mitigate some fat gains. A person who is in your position will not have a more optimal opportunity to gain muscle (very lean or underweight tend to have a better ability to gain muscle). As you gain weight, you decrease insulin sensitivity, which can make it harder to gain muscle. Long term, your health and true goals would be achieved much quicker with a long term approach.
Getting calories is easy if you concentrate on the appropriate ones and do some preplanning. Making meals ahead of time, pre logging calories, drinking calories (like chocolate milk), carrying things like nuts and nut blends, cheese, avocados/guacamole, protein bars, or protein shakes, can all make this easier without adding a ton of food volume. And if you need to occasionally, allocate 10% to 15% of your calories to a treat, like chocolate. Those items don't satiate people and come with a good amount of calories.
Ultimately, the difference between success and failure is dedication. If you don't make it a priority and rely on a potential stimulant, it will not happen, especially since Apetamin has a side effect of drowsiness.

I started taking Apetamin about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I started at 103 and I haven't weighed myself again since then but I know that I've gained weight. My stomach is poking out of course I'm sure many people said that. But overall I'm so happy that I have finally started to gain that I'm not worried about it at this point in time. You and I will be taking this journey somewhat together so please friend me I'll be happy to share my results with you5

Hi! I'm also on a weight gain journey and also taking Apetamin. It does give u a belly but as long as u work out it won't be a problem. I started Apetamin in last year and it definitely works. My starting weight was 108. While taking Apetamin I managed to get up to 132 I'm 3 months. But I after 3 months i stopped because my stomach was getting huge!! So I didn't reach my goal. But now I have restarted Apetamin as of last week. And now I work out at least 3 times a week. I'm currently weigh 134 and my goal is 140...so hopefully I will reach it this time lol...but wishing you luck on your journey! We can do it4

@lplummer324 heyyy im glad to hear it worked for you!! Its working for me i mean im alwayssss hungry. Like today i ate 3! Yes 3 wopper jrs & 3 fries. How? Idk i had a coupon for burger king and i used it lmao. After that i felt hungry, 1 hr later i was at dennys. But anyways. i started the pills 3/18/17 at 91 pounds. Yesterday 3/23/17 i weighted my self and i was 95.5. Probly by sunday ill be near 98. I do have a belly but tbh I DONT CARE. I just wanna reach my goal weight 115 - 120 pounds THEN ill work out my belly. I cant cant weight too see that 115 on my scale-1

I'm also taking apetamin! I started last year and within 3-4mths I went from 132 to 156lbs. I stop taking it last month but I started back Tuesday after a real stressful patch in my life and losing 6lbs. I think my goal weight this time around will be 160-165lbs. It does give you a lil pug so this time around I will be doing a lot of abs and lower body exercises.
GOOD LUCK!!0 -

Doing ab work won't stop you from gaining weight around the mid section.1 -

I highly commend your effort in all these apetamin threads! Such a shame people are too foolish to take heed.3 -

I was 96 pounds and then I started taking apetamin and after 2 weeks with that I went to 106 pounds. BUT I didn't have money to keep ordering it so because I couldn't take it as frequently as I should, I am now at 100 pounds. And you have to eat when you take apetamin. You won't gain weight just by taking it and only eating once or twice a day. You have to take that 3 times a day and eat 3 times a day or more cus it will make you hungry. I would love to go back on apetamin I just wish it wasn't so expensive cus it really was helping me. It made me have the appetite to eat my next meal. And you will have to order 3 at a time cus it does empty pretty fast0

I didn't see where bodyfat percentage is mentioned at all. People can be plenty fat at 120 lbs. "Fat" depends upon body composition, not just weight. Google "MONW (Metabolically Obese, Normal Weight)", which is the medical term for "skinnyfat".0 -

I'm aware of that and hey,I'm not defending ampetamine! I've managed to gain weight slowly just by eating more and think that's the best way to do it. But the person in question started at 91 lbs and I can relate to the feeling that you just want to gain weight- any kind of weight. Chances are they'll realise,way before they reach 120 lbs,that nearly 20 lbs of fat mostly round the middle is not a good look and not healthy.1 -
Hey I'm also starting with the Apetamin pills soon. I had syrup 2 yrs ago and from 2 bothles I gained 5 kg. I wasn't consistent so I lost them in this 2 yrs. Pills are much more easy to care around in my bag.
I'm 24 y. old, 166 cm and just 43 kg. I hope so pills would work for me. I wish u good luck with your journey.

I also bought some apetamin about 2 years ago and had gained 5 pounds in a week from it. However, I wasn't consistent with it and stopped taking it. I just ordered another bottle of it and I want to start my weight gaining journey back. I am currently 104 but would like to get up to 130 by the end of this year. I'm only 5'1 so I feel that 130 is enough. I'm so tired of being skinny also. It feels good to see other people on here like me that are on a weight gain journey. Great motivation!2

I get the impression the apetamin users don't care. Until they do actually get fat and don't like where the fat has gone.1 -

Yeah but there are other pills they can take for that, right? Right?2 -
I've actually tried apetamin on two diff occasions and I love my results. As long as you're working out while using it you won't have to much fat to worry about. I'm going to start using it again to gain about 15 more lbs3

Nope. Even if you are following a progressive overload program (lifting heavy things) as a female you'll be lucky to gain 0.5-1lb of muscle per month. If you're gaining say, 10lbs a month, as a lot of people seem to do in these threads, then pretty much all of that is fat.
We've even had those who have gained rapidly while working out come and complain that despite that working out they are unhappy with the results because genetically the fat goes where they don't want it coupled with gaining no muscle.1 -

The problem is that if you've always been too thin and have difficulty with eating more food,the prospect of taking something which makes you hungry ,and therefore enables you to eat more without making too much effort,seems very attractive. I've never taken ampetamine (I don't like the idea of taking an unregulated drug and recognise I need to retrain my appetite naturally;ie by eating more) but as someone who has always struggled to gain weight I can understand the attraction. It's miserable forcing yourself to eat when you don't want to.
It was only when I started using mfp that I realised I just hadn't been eating enough and that upping my calorie intake actually wasn't that hard. But it takes time,effort and patience and an acceptance that extra weight won't always go where you'd like it to go.
Edit: to those that say they don't care if they get a fat belly : trust me,you WILL care. Much of the weight I've gained initially went to my stomach. (It's my genetics ) It's no fun having to buy bigger jeans,not because you've got a curvy bottom but because your old ones won't fit over your belly

Oh I'm not arguing about the frustration of trying to gain weight, the struggle can easily be as frustrating as losing weight.
My point was less about apetamin but more about those that use it and the predominance of not caring about healthy weight gain. Or, as you are doing, learning to upregulate your appetite so you can maintain a higher weight.1 -

Yup,and as it's too expensive to use long term,I'm not sure what happens when you stop taking it.0
