Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. You can start on chilineesterase inhibitors like donepezil and in a way appetite can be recovered. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
