tacey 0 Share Posted September 27, 2004 In the beginning of my treatment I would eat more because you had to take the pill on an empty stomach. An hour later i would eat anything insight. It's been like a month later and whenever i take the pill in the morning it takes away my hunger. Then later on the day, it seems like i forget to eat. No i'm not aneroxic. If my body tells me i'm hungry, i eat. If it doesn't tell me then i won't eat. I'm 5'5 and last time i wieghed myself i was 115. I was thinking about this whole topic today (because i was trying to figure out why my pants were feeling baggy)and i remembered that one of the side effects that was listed was that it might take away your appetite. I was wondering if anyone else that is taking the pill is getting the same effect as I. I would like to hear your responses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NameWithheld3 0 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I also lost my appetite when I was on tetracycline. It made me sick a couple times though so mainly I took it at night so I didn't feel the symptoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lydia 0 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I lost my appetite the first week of taking tetra too, actually I thought this was just me, I didn't know it was a recognised side effect. My period was also 2 weeks late in my first month Like NW3 said, you could take the pill about half an hour before you go to bed, I do this too. Have a big meal a couple of hours beforehand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
