A week and a half ago the doctor put me on Carbamazapin and Zoloft. I take the C at noon and midnight and the Z at 6 p.m. Around midnight or shortly after I get really hungry. Any ideas of good foods that I can eat that late to quench the hunger without adding a ton of weight? I'm already heavy and don't want to gain a bunch of weight from side effects of these meds.
If you find something let me know! Between the meds and the laying around from 2 miserable mvd’s I’ve packed it on! I didn’t even realize these meds could cause weight gain until it was too late. I just wanted relief!
What about a hot chocolate on low fat milk, I always find that a filling snack that is not too hideous.
A banana
You could have fruit salad cut up in the fridge (I puree mine or otherwise it is too much chewing)
A little bowl of veggie soup
At the moment none of my meds make me overly hungry but I was a ravenous beast on tegretol. Still trying to get the weight off that I put on, it’s tough.

Thanks. I'll get some bananas tomorrow. I can chew on my left side and on my right when there is no flare up going on. I have never felt this hungry. Perhaps saltine crackers will work. I lost a lot of weight after my divorce by eating one or two when I got hungry. I only ate 1 good meal a day back then.
