Increased Appetite

[madhatter]

I've been taking finpecia for a little more than a month now. Has anyone out there noticed an increased appetite while on finasteride? I've been eating like a horse for the past month and was just wondering if finasteride could be the cause. I luckily have a very good metabolism so I haven't put on much weight. I just seem to be hungry all the time, kind of like when I am seriously working out. But I haven't been working out for months. Anyone else out there experience this?

i noticed it but i put it down to some other meds ive been taking (migraine tablets that have weight gain as a side effect)

I'm not on any other meds. I'm just constantly hungry all the time, I wonder if there is a connection.

Could be the coming winter that makes you eat more than usual. I've been eating a lot lately, but I put it down to the weather and being slightly on the thin side.

I've known someone on migraine medication, she was going to the gym almost every day and she was still putting on weight. Those tablets are dangerous...

yea i am defo always munching away.. especially junk food and snacks... infact i am eating right now!

Yea, I've been eating a lot of sweets where I've never had a sweet tooth at all. Luckily I have a super fast metabolism where it's almost impossible to pack on pounds unless I'm working out and consuming 5k calories a day.

I'm also constantly hungry...but that could be because I smoke marijuana quite often.
