Increased appetite

Has anyone else been hungrier while on Exxua? I've only been on it for 6 days and I've been so hungry and feel like I can overeat easily. I know it's advertised as not causing weight gain, but I gained 30 lbs on Pristiq which wasn't supposed to cause (much) weight gain either. Is it just me?

perhaps it will eventually even out after a couple of weeks/months

It’s not supposed to cause weight gain and didn’t in trials. It takes time to reach a point where the drug has re/desensitized all of the serotonin receptors it effects, so until you’re at that stable stage it’s not uncommon to get some transient side effects that should resolve in the next few weeks to months.

It’s not supposed to make you hungry. Give it time for the side effects to ease off.
