Comment:
My 92 year old mother stopped eating after a fall and got to 88 pounds. She was prescribed this medication and has regained the 12 pounds she lost She has a better appetite than ever and now enjoys eating. Sleeps great at night for an added bonus. No side effects. This medication saves her life.

Comment:
I had a bad case of migraines, and I was underweight because I did not want to eat because of all the migraines I was having. I start taking this medication and I gained 35Lbs in three months and the migrains stopped. I was not sleepy and I was able to work without crying about my head. I have so much energy and I am happy that someone told me about this medication.

Comment:
My son was prescribed this med when he was 9. He is now 10. It definately helps to increase appetite but he has to take med in the early evening or he will be too sleepy for school in the morning. However, on Saturdays it does help him to catch up on much needed sleep.
