Question 1

Accepted Answer

None: There is no regulation for herbal supplements, and I have personally seen heart, liver, kidney, and other issues from supplements that really work and cause real problems.

Question 2

what otc appetite suppressants are safe when taking wellbutrin (bupropion) xr 300  mg?

Accepted Answer

Do not recommend: Would be careful using appetite suppressants while on any anti-depressants

Question 3

is there anything otc or natural remedies to increase appetite and amount of food i can eat before being full?

Accepted Answer

Many people find: that a glass of wine before meals works as a gustatory stimulant but you would like to exclude organic diseases that can limit appetite and satiety. See a health care provider for evaluation before treating yourself for this issue.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Vitamin: Would start with a multivitamin. Physical exercise is critical also in building appetite. Try not to eat alone.

Question 5

i have a cold now for a few days, i have no appetite, nausea, and keep coughing up an almost solid green substance, is there anything otc i can take?

Accepted Answer

No!: You should seek urgent (or if urgent care center not available ER) care! You have either bacterial bronchitis or pneumonia!! (Pneumococcus) or (less likely) Pneumococcal sinusitis
Good Luck

Question 6

best otc appetite suppressant or weight loss stimulants? at approx 130lbs with norm of 115 lbs. goal weight between 115-120lbs.

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't advise OTC.: For the weight loss plans that you have, I would re just limiting your intake of carbohydrates over fat and protein and adding mostly a plant based diet.  I would suggest, as a general measure, checking your Body mass index (BMI) and seeing where you fall on the chart.  I generally would avoid any stimulants, as they come with health risks, including tachycardia, dizziness and other.

Question 7

3.5 year old daughter had last bm about 2 weeks ago. c/o bad tummy with leaking feces on underwear, no appetite. should i go to md or try otc products?

Accepted Answer

Stool retention: I would have her evaluated by a physician. My evaluation of such cases includes a general & dietary history, time of onset, previous treatments & successes.An exam that focuses on the abdomen & rectum, abdominal x-ray & occasionally a contrast enema.Most kids who reach this level of dysfunction need a bowel rehab plan that requires 6m of effort & lots of tears & frustration.Good luck.

Question 8

joint pain throughout body, can't sleep more 2-4 hr weight gain lack appetite on synthroid (thyroxine) .75 tsh 3.17@nite pain wake me up.otc pain med no good?

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: Your symptoms are not consistent.  If you have lack of appetite, you should be eating less and losing weight, not gaining.  Your TSH level is normal though in the upper range of normal.  Although you could take a slightly higher dose of synthroid (thyroxine) to correct this, it will likely not change your symptoms.  The joint symptoms and pain should be evaluated by your doctor.

Question 9

why would amphetamines stimulate my appetite?

Accepted Answer

See below: They don't .  They're used for appetite suppression.

Question 10

can e-mycin cause you to lose appetite?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Erythromycin can be one of the more difficult antibiotics to take. Nausea & vomiting can limit this use of this antibiotic.
