My time to shine as some fellow dark degnerate feeder and fat fetishist. I have been making a list of medications to enhance hunger on a big scale. In times of glp1 medications, i thought do they also do medications for the opposite case. And yes indeed. Often those are for cancer patients or in general strongly malnourished in general. So I did some research a while ago. Some of those following even can make you addicted, which is even better ;)

Medications with appetite-increasing potential (orexigenic effects):
· Megestrol acetate (e.g., Megestrol) : Strong synthetic hormone used to stimulate appetite in cachexia (e.g., cancer patients). Documented dosages range from 160 mg to 1600 mg per day, with an optimal dose around 800 mg/day. Risks: high risk of thrombosis, high blood pressure, edema, hyperglycemia.
· Dronabinol (THC/also just edibles do it too) : Synthetic cannabinoid, also used for appetite loss. Studies typically use 2.5 mg to 20 mg per day, commonly 2.5 mg to 5 mg twice daily. Risks: psychoactive effects, sedation, dizziness.
· Olanzapine : Atypical antipsychotic that can cause significant weight gain. Weight gain is often not dose-dependent and can amount to 1–5 kg within 4 weeks. Risks: increased cholesterol and blood sugar levels, pronounced sedation (drowsiness).
· Quetiapine (Seroquel) : Another atypical antipsychotic with strong appetite-increasing effects. Risks: extreme sedation, metabolic disorders.
· Mirtazapine : An antidepressant that can increase appetite and cravings for sweets. Appetite-stimulating effects seen in studies starting at 15 mg to 30 mg daily. Risks: strong sedation, especially at the beginning of treatment.
· Cyproheptadine (Peritol) : A first-generation antihistamine. Appetite stimulation occurs as a side effect. Adult dosage: 4–8 mg, 3–4 times daily.
· Gabapentin : A medication for neuropathic pain or epilepsy. Appetite increase is a rare side effect (approx. 0.33% of patients). Due to its low orexigenic potential, it is not considered effective for this purpose.
· Insulin : A hormone essential for glucose metabolism. Misuse for weight gain is life-threatening, as it can cause severe hypoglycemia leading to coma and death.
