Anybody had any issues with an insatiable appetite? I’m hungry all the time! So much so I get weak and shaky. I feel like I’m going crazy

No I hate food now unfortunately
I’m ok with food, unfortunately it’s sometimes the wrong type - ice cream instead of veggies! My problem is getting enough to drink. I can go all day with two cups of coffee, then have to make up for it in the evening.
Are you on a dopamine agonist? Ropinirole is ons brand. These meds can cause obsessive behavior with activities that release a dopamine rush.
I’ve been eating way too many sweets every day. I’m not necessarily hungry but I just eat and eat and eat. I’m going to start cutting out sugar from diet.
Sugar was my crack. I couldn’t get enough. Ended up gaining weight finally had to limit sugar snacks in my house. I’m convinced it’s due to the addiction traits of our medications.
A lot of people find this to be true. I have always had a sweet tooth so I’m not a good person to comment, lol
I would agree with the medication (dopamine agonists) side effect playing a role in that. I was always a savory, salty, crunchy snack person. Then i started the meds and I like sweets more than i ever had. Since dopamine interacts with the pleasure centers of your brain it makes senses that anything that foods that create a rush would be something that makes our brains want more of.
