So I am on week 3 with Tec. Starting about a week ago, I am ravenous! I found some links online about this but ultimately couldn't find what ever comment was made in regards to this. Anyone have this as a side effect??? It's maddening. Particularly because I am vegetarian, and my usual fare is just not cutting it. Ugh...

I am still too early on the medication to let you know how it is going. Only on day 4 here and all I know is I feel like a stuffed pig because I usually only ate one solid meal a day with very little fat. Now I am eating two two full solid fatty meals a day to ward off any s/e that could trigger my crohn's or peptic ulcer...hell even a migraine attack. Honestly, food right now is my enemy. If anything I have absolutely no appetite. Add that when I eat now, I taste more of the silverware (metal) then I do the food......
But, so far so good......no tummy issues at all, body aches but even they are diminishing with each dose, but tummy is doing awesome!

Hi, I'm at the end of month 3. I got hungrier too for awhile. It gets better. I think you feel better and helps keep side effects away if you keep your stomach somewhat full. I stocked up on bagels and ate a lot of Apple slices with peanut butter! Sometimes a few crackers help. Hope this helps and tell us when things get better because they will... Becky

Haha! OneGreatLife, I wish I was having that issue! Thankfully the extreme hunger has passed. I'm back to just normal hungry for me. Lol. It was terrible. I would eat a filling meal or snack and then like an hour or two later be so hungry, like I hadn't eating days! It was ridiculous. Hopefully that side effect stay far away from now on. Although now I do have mild stomach cramps. No idea if it is related to the Tec or not.... can't win if it isn't one thing it's another! Thanks guys!
