        Hi Dustilane,

        Yes, I've read about it when trying to get my husband to eat.  I posted here about coming back from dramatic weight loss, think it's about pg 4 now.

        After my husband went 3 days without being able to make himself eat anything and drinking very Iittle I finally got the oncology office to prescribe Megace (magestrol acetate).  We were both disappointed when he took the first dose in the evening and didn't feel like eating, but after the second day he started wanting food again.

        Only 5 days on the drug and yesterday was a sleepy low intake day, but at least he's eating again.

        Good luck!

              Thanks M.  Along with the 3 meals we are trying to get 2 shakes a day in w/ high protein and/or high calorie additions that won't add too much volume.  He just can't fit a lot in. Today the RN from Home Health suggested marijuana tablets to increase appetite.  Hey, if it works without drug interactions I'm all for it.  I asked my husband if he ever imagined that he'd be on methadone and marijuana at the direction of medical professionals.
