My husband lost a lot of weight quickly and after many tests, they had no clue why. He has been on Megase 40 MG/ML suspension, 3 tsp. per day and has gained 25 pounds in a month ! I really thought I was going to lose him to malnutrition, but he's back !

My doctor tried me on this medication for 30 days due to severe nausea/vomitting and weight loss. During this time I gained 14lbs and it not only greatly increased my appetite, it also, for whatever reason, greatly decreased the instances of vomiting. It does not taste good, but is very easy to use and well worth it to me.

I was prescribed Megace due not being able to diagnose my disease and was feeling as if I was about to die. I was given 3 snoreplasty injections in Aug and Sept of '04. Three weeks or less after the second injection, I completly lost my appitite and could not make myself eat and now realize I was suffering from adrenal insufficcency. It took until March of '07 to get the correct diagnosis at UAMS in Little Rock, AR. I was diagnosed with adrenal insufficency due to Megace. They did not listen to me when I told them that I had suffered the symptoms of ADI for 4 months before I was given the Megace. There is no doube in my mind that I had not been the Meagace I would have died. It is my wish that someone would listen to me and check in the Snoreplasty injections, that are also used to get rid of spider veins in the legs, and make sure it is a safe procedure as I read that it is used on our soldiers for snoring problems. It is my expreience that a cpap machine is a much safer and workable treatment for snoring problems and will leave a patient with a much better quality of life to live. I have spent the last 7 plus years merely exsisting my live instead of being able to enjoy the so called golden years that I did look so forward too.
