emig Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I just stopped using Fluoxetine after 1 year tapering. Im now experiencing extreme hunger. Everyday, all day. No matter how much I eat- I can’t get satisfied. Anyone else experience this? Is it some imbalance in the leptin receptors? please help! Link to comment
