Its the drugs. A side effect of the drugs. Well, a side effect of stopping the drugs nobody warned me about until it was too late.
I've had lots to eat. I don't need food.
I'm so hungry and nothing helps.

You got this! I'm on meds that increase hunger and it's a serious pain. You went off ones and now feel more hungry?
I wasn't careful I'd be eating twice as much as I do now. I workout a lot and do stuff to distract me from feeling hungry. I also make sure to eat something every couple hours so I don't have to wait too long for the next snack. Sometimes that leaves me watching the clock, but I try to find things to distract me. It sounds dumb, but brushing my teeth after dinner and knowing I'm done with food for the day helps. I feel your pain and wish you weren't dealing with this!0 -
Can you try different macros? Depending on which hormones your meds are messing with, maybe a different combination might help more. Try something like a spoonful of peanut butter (fat) and see if it helps with satiety.
My sympathy, hope this side effect passes quickly.0 -

Well you could eat tons of Protein and see if that helps.
You could also eat tons of rabbit food ( if you are worried about gaining weight)0 -
Nah. It's like being on prednisone again. On that drug, I'd make a sandwich while ordering a pizza and munching on carrots and after all that still be hungry, but also in pain because a stomach can only hold so much.
Hopefully will get better in a few more days.2
