Due to depression and anxiety my wife lost from 120 lbs to 85 (35 pound loss). Started at 20 ml per day for a month then up to 40 ml per day. She gained 15 pounds within 6 weeks. However, after about 8 weeks it has lost it's effectiveness. As to cost mentioned by others, there is a generic that she takes and the cost is minimal.

I have Been on Megace 40mg/10ml-1xday oral suspension and I now weigh 137lbs.( 90 day's) This drug is quite expensive however the cost is in no comparison to life! Side effect's are Frequent Urination, EXTREME Hunger!!! Some Restlessness at Night,and Some Agitation. These side effects are minor to me and worth the excellent weight gain. Megace,my Doc's and GOD saved my life!AMEN-
