    I have lost so much weight that they want me to gain. I think I’m more surprised at this than getting cancer! It may sound ridiculous but it’s true.

    I’ve been taking this for about two weeks to increase my appetite. It’s finally kicked in and now I crave carbs. Bread, crackers, ramen noodles… I can’t get enough. Not very nutritional but I’ll take the food.

    Has this happened to anyone else?
