"been very thin all my life (high metabolism). i&#039;m 40 &amp; 5&#039;5 weighing at 92 lbs. i was too thin and wanting to gain weight. a friend suggested megace. i took 1 teaspoon 3 times a day. i gained 7 lbs in the first week. after 3 weeks i am up to 117lbs where i wanted to be. i feel and look much healthier. con was my appetite was insatiable. i only wanted to eat all day. i always had food with me if i went out. i ended up with a food baby (that&#039;s what i call it) belly. i looked pregnant. that went away when i stopped taking it. it did stop my periods but when i&#039;d stop taking it the periods would always return. it did make me very thirsty all the time as well. other than that i love it! take 1 tsp every other 2-3 days now to maintain the weight."
