If not, what could the sudden increase of appetite a symptom of?

It can be a symptom of hyperthyroidism.  That's what happened to me.\n  I started being hungry all the time and was losing weight, I thought I had a tapeworm!\n  Either way, if it continues you should go to your doctor because it's not something you can handle on your own. Good Luck

I have heard of this...but I would recommend seeing your doc...perhaps you need a new medicine.

This is a result of your metabolism increasing (basically  your muscles are demanding more food for energy).  Just be cautious of what you eat and at what time.

You might want to check with your doctor, it could be something as simple as stress, or could be a hyperthyroid symptom.

You may of heard this before-healthy food i.e. fruit , veg the right amount of fats and salt and exercise not neccesarily loads of it, even walking every day would do. Try not to eat stuff you know will make you gain weight-when you feel fat after eating something avoid it... common sense

NO.  This needs to be checked out by the doc as it could be something serious.  This should have been checked out a long time ago.

Aloha Candy1974,\nThe side effects of increased appetite and weight gain are the less severe than the other side effects. If the doctor prescribed Remeron he must feel that the effects outweigh the side effects. That may seem moot to you as part of your anxieties include the rapid increase/decrease in weight gain. It does work for anxiety, but you may want to be on top of the fact that you may gain weight. In this case you may want to adjust your diet and and add some exercise routine into your daily activities.  A diet low in carbs and fats with moderate proteins and no sugary drinks or alcohol.  Even though the side effects are less severe you may still report them to your doctor to have him adjust the dose or change the meds altogether. He is most likely aware of your concerns about weight, but just had to try this med as part of a process of elimination. Part of that process comes from your immediate feedback of any illicit side effects you may be experiencing. \nSince our last talk/e-mail I have come across a few bipolar patients who have had radical wieight gains and losses on past meds. One remedy was kinda funny but it seems to work for him. The patient would sit or stand naked in front of a mirror while eating to be aware of his weight and food portions. Another patient left post it notes all over her house, in common areas, to remind her of what she was going through and to help her remain discplined enough to watch her food intake and actions/exercises.  They both say that it is easier when manic but harder when depressed. That is understandable. The reason behind this is to get into good habits with the hope that they remain good habits throughout your lifetime. They've had their ups and downs but have been mostly successful at curbing their weight gain and thus their anxietiies due to it.  Take things one day at a time and address each problem one at a time as it is too easy to overwhelm yourself with the many anxieties that bipolar can bring on. Good luck to you in your endeavor to get well.\n\nps:  Try WebMD.com for your medical and pharmaceutical answers and needs.

YES!!\nDiagnostic Criteria\nRecurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following: \neating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances \na sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating) \nRecurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications; fasting; or excessive exercise. \nThe binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on average, at least twice a week for 3 months. \nSelf-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight. \nThe disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of Anorexia Nervosa. \nSpecify type:\nPurging Type: during the current episode of Bulimia Nervosa, the person has regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas \nNonpurging Type: during the current episode of Bulimia Nervosa, the person has used other inappropriate compensatory behaviors, such as fasting or excessive exercise, but has not regularly engaged in self-induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives, diuretics, or enemas \n \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDifferential Diagnosis\nAnorexia Nervosa; Binge-Eating/Purging Type; Kleine-Levin syndrome; Major Depressive Disorder, With Atypical Features; Borderline Personality Disorder.

.......essentially yes.\n\nmost people lose their appetite after throwing up what they ate becuase its just really gross and disgusting to see what has been inside the body.\nHowever, its not the perfect solution because some of the calories remain in the body although you throw up.\nAlso, in order to become skinny from throwing up,\nyou should throw up EVERYTHING or your body will go into\n"saving mode" and try to hold on to every little calorie that comes in, which you will gain weight a lot faster.

Since you seemed generally concerned and do not seem to have much knowledge on the subject I would suggest seeing a nutritionist.  I could not tell you what the adderall does for your appetite, but eating healthily and consistently is extremely important for maintaining good health (and diet!).  If this behavior is normal for you you may not be hungry because your stomach has shrunk which is a clear indicator that you could actually be on the verge of an eating disorder, and that is a long, slippery slope you need to avoid.  If this situation is a one-time (or relatively rare) occasion you should not need to worry about any of that, and just continue to snack to keep up your energy and blood sugar (and therefor your metabolism).  Snacks do not have to be junk food, but fruits and vegetables are great snacks, as well as pretzels and non-buttery popcorn. If you are trying to lose weight, kudos for the jump rope, that's great exercise, but eating habits are very important to keeping your body energized and healthy, especially if you are exercising.  I would recommend researching nutrition, or seeing a nutritionist if this is a serious concern for you.  Good luck!

Yes, that is a clear sign that someone is bulimic.  Other symptoms include induced vomiting after eating large quantities of food, excessive exercise, food restriction between binges, and eating secretively.  The person may or may not be underweight, (many bulimics are actually overweight) but their weight tends to fluctuate quite a bit.  Bulimia only gets worse if left untreated, and can be fatal.  If you know this person, I'd advise you to sit down and talk with them confidentially about whether or not something's going on in their lives emotionally, and offer to get them some help.  There are many support groups out there (just do a search on eating disorder treatment).\nBest of luck to you.

The only thing that I can think of that might cause this is perhaps an allergic reaction to something in the food. You might look it up. I tried but didn't find anything substantial but maybe you would.

it may not be one of the side effects but it can happen cause you are maybe not as depressed and you feel like eating.

It's possible as they are very high in fiber.  Try not eating quite so many and see if that helps.

a very good symptom, is when you see lots and lots of HOT women (or men if your that way inclined), and you feel the blood flowing, heart beating faster, but poor old Trouser snake" is still in snooze mode. lol

Yes, it is, but that's a lot, it must mean that you ate much more than you usually do!
