Supplements to increase appetite?

[Biglanky]

Are there any supplements (aside from pro hormones/steroids) that increase appetite?
Thanks!

Thanks for the link! There is some good information there, but those supplements seem pretty hard to find. Is there anything more common?

The only OTC supplements that would actually increase appetite might be ginger root, fenugreek extract & digestive enzymes. IMO, Periactin works the best and can be found easily through a quick search on Google.

Thanks for the help Pogue, but I have just one more question...
Possible side effects of Periactin are listed as:
Side effects may include:
Anaphylaxis (life-threatening allergic reaction), anemia, appetite loss, chest congestion or tightness, chills, confusion, constipation, convulsions, diarrhea, difficulty urinating, dizziness, dry mouth, nose, or throat, earlier-than-expected menstrual period, exaggerated feeling of well-being, excessive perspiration, excitement, faintness, fatigue, fluttery or throbbing heartbeat, frequent urination, hallucinations, headache, hives, hysteria, inability to urinate, increased appetite and weight gain, insomnia, irritability, lack of coordination, light sensitivity, liver problems, low blood pressure, nausea, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, rash and swelling, restlessness, ringing in the ears, sleepiness, stomach pain, stuffy nose, tingling or pins and needles, tremor, vertigo, vision problems (double vision, blurred vision), vomiting, weight gain, wheezing, yellow eyes and skin

I understand that most of that is rare and is just said for legal reasons, but have you ever encountered any of these effects? (aside from the weight gain of course...but it does also list appetie loss...so that's somewhat confusing)

it's an antihistamine, so it would have similar effects as OTC antihistamines like benadryl, etc. you are very tired when you start to use it, but after a week or so you become adjusted to it and can take it throughout the day. then you will really start to see the appetite boost.
