Anything effective I can get over the counter and locally to help stimulate my appetite?
 
If your talking orals. Thats the reason why your appetite is shit. Drop all orals bro. If you can't eat, doesn't matter what your on you won't grow.

I figured if I wasn't taking orals I wasn't covering all bases for growth. When I stop taking the oils that's when I really put on some size because I was able to eat an insane amount. Get off the Dbol bro lol.

Haven’t even taken it pwo it over a week. It’s just slowly been getting worse and worse and now I’m really fucking struggling, taking like 30 mins to eat a bow of rice and meat

I’d say in the last 3 weeks I maybe took Dbol@50 3X times total… that really can’t still be fucking with me right?

Hmmm... it could be but.. thats a good amount of time to fix any issues you were having. Are you depressed bro? You feelin alright? You motivated?

I been there bro, 30 mins to kill a meal that would normally take me 5 mins. Hard to pin point stuff like that. Good luck bro. Hope you get it figured out soon man. Might be time to cruise it out for a bit friend.

Only thing different is I’ve been taking delt8 gummies at night and they definitely do not do my appetite any favors. Same with weed when I smoke I literally cannot eat. So that might be the culprit. Otherwise I feel 150% not depressed in the slightest, little sexually frustrated with my sex life and some minor aggression but nothing major at all

Ya.. drop that delt8. How much you smoking bro? For me.. when I'm smoking to much it destroys my appetite. Literally the complete opposite, when I only smoke once a day. Then I can barely keep myself away from the fridge haha.

If you don't mind me asking brother, what does your meal plan look like? What's your goal and why are you trying to shovel food down?
What exactly is stopping it, is there something hindering it, are you meeting your macros but struggling, have you been eating the same type of macros for a long time without doing any adding or subtracting?
There's a ton of things that can enhance the appetite.

Hardly smoke at all these days. Only on special occasions. Been taking these gummies every night for about a week now though and they get me Uber stoned lol

Ya absolutely man. I’m working with montego and following his meal plan. Been doing that for a couple months now and before that I was eating basically rice and meat all day. Basically very similar now with the addition of some fruit and veggies, but meat and rice is the guts of it.

Goals are to get as big as possible! All about the aesthetics tbh none of this is worth it to me if I won’t look top notch cause I’m a shallow hearted fool. So ya end goal is gonna be trying to get that vascular dick skin lean look but I’m ok with just adding some size for now and leaning out later…

I just got off a cycle everything was going good til I added an oral...tried a couple times running it. Fucked my appetite up. Not a fan of orals anymore

I dont know about OTC items but early am cardio and smaller portions help me keep a solid appetite, big meals just crush my appetite. I dont think I’d take drug to help me increase my food intake lol. Just nut up and push it down by making it taste a little better

I hear that bro, fuck orals. I will tell you this tho. Anavar is insane. It actually increases my appetite. Dbol shuts me down in 3 weeks, tbol shuts me down around week 6, anadrol about one week haha. Anavar, hungry as a mother fucker!!! Gains are clean and hold. Nothin better, highly recommend it in every cycle.

I was gonna suggest this before. I was wondering waiting on his macro intake and his goals.. AM fasted cardio is 100% the most effective thing IMO.. depending on what his goal is, it can be light, moderate or dialed up a tad..
20mins speed 3 on 6% incline (no hands, no holding bar) is a perfect starting point. Fires the metabolism up and ESPSIALLY helps with nutrition partitioning..

People hate cardio, and some people have the wrong idea about it, most assume its for fat loss only.. Only issue most have is time constraints being fasted AM. Thank goodness I have some equipment at home for that, I wake up and jump right on with head phones after I take my Modafinil and 1 small K-cup or black only. Only downfall its directly right under the air register, I get blasted with heat..:mad: Its awful in that aspect.
Great for supporting appetite for the rest of the day.. Truly!

I'm about the same, just not with the drol..dbol starts to play slight games with me around week 3-4, drol seems to be fair these days.. Var or tbol I'm golden, never an issue.. Var not only supports appetite for me, but has me pumped all day TBOL as well to a degree..

Sometimes adding B12 complex sublingual supports it for me as well it helps for a moment, 2 weeks or so than dissipates, but its enough to get me out of a pickle , yet others it suppresses, go figure..

Here's some ideas, just putting them out there..

Practin TD (appetite stimulation drug)

Does orals suppress your appetite (dbol/drol).. They do me, that's for sure..
Try adding this to your AAS combo..
Cyproheptadine is a antihistamine, but it has been used for off label properties with treating conditions, syndroms in people that have little to no appetite due to whatever issues that may have trigger the appetite loss.
Back in the late 90's early 2000's some pharma companies would in fact add this to their Dbol, yup, that's right.. Guy's were blowing up like craziness..
I decided to add this once again due to my script meds interfering with my appetite , this will give me the added advantage with wanting to pound some food during difficult times..

Please do NOT PM me for source.. You can get these from just about any legit ONLINE pharma dispensary, you do need a script for most, but some don't require it..

2 x 4mg tabs is all you really need, take with your orals (dbol/drol).. take 1 in am and 1 in pm..

Depression/appetite..Solution for those that suffer!


As some of you know, well the mostly the members that speak to me on a personal level know that I have had my bouts with depression here and there, and trying medication after medication throughout the years..
Often at times when I have a low my appetite naturally takes a hit as well, and struggling to choke down food all the while trying to have a stable steady keel with my outlook..

Last summer I introduced a drug that I was kinda unfamiliar with (just recently re-added it again,glad I did), but did some research on it, and it turned out to be the Swiss army knife of antidepressants... Its role is multi-functional, at the same time not effecting sex drive,libido, ability to cum, or anything that SSIR's do to people..

This drug has been a life saver, not only does it treat my depression like symptoms, but it knocks me the hell out like an ambien would (deep sleep wise)..Further more, its been used to treat people with wasting disorders where they cant eat, or lack of appetite, anorexia..In fact its one of the top 3 most prescribed for treating appetite stimulation.. Dosages will vary.. I started at 30mgs and I was blown away on how well I was sleeping, and the increase and desire to eat was out of this world, it actually became problematic at night lol... I now take the max dosage at 45mgs, sleep is sound, and appetite has been like that or a carnivore.

side effects? zero for me.... maybe a bit groggy upon waking up, but nothing a dark roast can't fix...

Its a great alternative to the other crap those Dr have pushed on me for years..Here's some info below, I hope this can assist anyone out there..

Mirtazapine, sold under the brand name Remeron among others, is an
atypical antidepressant which is used primarily in the treatment of depression.[SUP][7][/SUP] In addition to its antidepressant properties, mirtazapine has anxiolytic, sedative, antiemetic, and appetite stimulant effects and is sometimes used in the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, and to produce weight gain when desirable.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP] It is taken by mouth.
The drug acts as an
antagonist of certain adrenergic and serotonin receptors, and is also a strong antihistamine.[SUP][7][/SUP] It is sometimes described as a noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA),[SUP][7][/SUP] although the actual evidence in support of this label has been regarded as poor.[SUP][9][/SUP] Chemically, mirtazapine is a tetracyclic antidepressant (TeCA), with four interconnected rings of atoms, and is a relative of the TeCA mianserin(Tolvon).[SUP][10][11][/SUP]
Mirtazapine was developed by
Organon International in the Netherlands and was introduced in the United States in 1996.[SUP][4][/SUP] Its patent expired in 2004, so generic versions are available.[SUP][12]

[/SUP]
Approved and off-label[edit]

Mirtazapine's primary use is the
treatment of major depressive disorder and other mood disorders.[SUP][13][14][/SUP]
However, it has also been found useful in alleviating the following conditions and is sometimes prescribed off-label for their treatment:






Effectiveness and tolerability[edit]

In 2010
NICE published a guideline for treating depression that included a review of antidepressants. It recommended generic SSRIs as first line choices, as they are "equally effective as other antidepressants and have a favourable risk–benefit ratio."[SUP][29][/SUP] With respect to mirtazapine, it found: "There is no difference between mirtazapine and other antidepressants on any efficacy measure, although in terms of achieving remission mirtazapine appears to have a statistical though not clinical advantage. In addition, mirtazapine has a statistical advantage over SSRIs in terms of reducing symptoms of depression, but the difference is not clinically important. However, there is strong evidence that patients taking mirtazapine are less likely to leave treatment early because of side effects, although this is not the case for patients reporting side effects or leaving treatment early for any reason."[SUP][30][/SUP]
A 2011 Cochrane review that compared mirtazapine to other antidepressants, found that while it appears to have a faster onset in people for whom it works (measured at 2 weeks), it is about the same as other antidepressants at 6 weeks.
[SUP][31][/SUP]
A 2012 review focused on antidepressants and sleep found that in many people with sleep disorders caused by depression, mirtazapine reduces the time it takes to fall asleep and increases the quality of sleep, but that in some people it can disturb sleep, causing
restless leg syndrome in 8 to 28% of people, and in rare cases causes REM sleep behavior disorder.[SUP][32][/SUP]
A 2018 systematic review and network meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and acceptability of 21 antidepressant drugs showed mirtazapine to be one of the most effective antidepressants in head-to-head studies.
[SUP][33][/SUP]
In general, all antidepressants, including mirtazapine, require at least a week for their therapeutic benefits on depressive and anxious symptoms to become apparent.
[SUP][34][35][/SUP]
Side effects[edit]

A 2011 Cochrane review found that compared with other antidepressants, it is more likely to cause weight gain and sleepiness, but it is less likely to cause tremor than tricyclic antidepressants, and less likely to cause nausea and sexual dysfunction than SSRIs.
[SUP][31][/SUP]
Very common (≥10% incidence) adverse effects include constipation, dry mouth, sleepiness, increased appetite and weight gain.
[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP][SUP][6][/SUP][SUP][36][/SUP][SUP][37][/SUP][SUP][38][/SUP][SUP][39][/SUP][SUP][40][41][/SUP]
Common (1–10% incidence) adverse effects include weakness, confusion, dizziness,
peripheral edema, and negative lab results like elevated transaminases, elevated serum triglycerides, and elevated total cholesterol.[SUP][6][/SUP]
Mirtazapine is not considered to have a risk of many of the side effects often associated with other antidepressants like the SSRIs, and may actually improve certain ones when taken in conjunction with them.
[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][42][/SUP] (Those adverse effects include decreased appetite, weight loss, insomnia, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, urinary retention, increased body temperature, excessive sweating, pupil dilation and sexual dysfunction.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][42][/SUP])
In general, some antidepressants, especially SSRIs, can paradoxically exacerbate some peoples' depression or anxiety or cause
suicidal ideation.[SUP][43][/SUP] Despite its sedating action, mirtazapine is also believed to be capable of this, so in the United States and certain other countries, it carries a black box label warning of these potential effects.
A case report published in 2000 noted an instance in which mirtazapine counteracted the action of
clonidine, causing a dangerous rise in blood pressure.[SUP][44][/SUP]
Discontinuation[edit]

Mirtazapine and other antidepressants may cause a
discontinuation syndrome upon cessation.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][45][/SUP][SUP][46][/SUP] A gradual and slow reduction in dose is recommended to minimize discontinuation symptoms.[SUP][47][/SUP] Effects of sudden cessation of treatment with mirtazapine may include depression, anxiety, panic attacks, vertigo, restlessness, irritability, decreased appetite, insomnia, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, flu-like symptoms such as allergies and pruritus, headaches and sometimes hypomania or mania.[SUP][45][/SUP][SUP][48][/SUP][SUP][49][/SUP][SUP][50][51][/SUP]
Overdose[edit]

Mirtazapine is considered to be relatively safe in the event of an
overdose,[SUP][35][/SUP] although it is considered slightly more toxic in overdose than most of the SSRIs (except citalopram).[SUP][52][/SUP] Unlike the tricyclic antidepressants, mirtazapine showed no significant cardiovascularadverse effects at 7 to 22 times the maximum recommended dose.[SUP][42][/SUP] Case reports of overdose with as much as 30 to 50 times the standard dose described the drug as relatively nontoxic, compared to tricyclic antidepressants.[SUP][53][54][/SUP]
Twelve reported fatalities have been attributed to mirtazapine overdose.
[SUP][55][/SUP][SUP][56][/SUP] The fatal toxicity index (deaths per million prescriptions) for mirtazapine is 3.1 (95% CI: 0.1 to 17.2). This is similar to that observed with SSRIs.[SUP][57][/SUP]
Interactions[edit]

Concurrent use with inhibitors or inducers of the
cytochrome (CYP) P450isoenzymesCYP1A2, CYP2D6, and/or CYP3A4 can result in altered concentrations of mirtazapine, as these are the main enzymes responsible for its metabolism.[SUP][3][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP] As examples, fluoxetine and paroxetine, inhibitors of these enzymes, are known to modestly increase mirtazapine levels, while carbamazepine, an inducer, considerably decreases them.[SUP][3][/SUP]Liver and moderate renal impairment have been reported to decrease the oral clearance of mirtazapine by about 30%; severe renal impairment decreases it by 50%.[SUP][3][/SUP]
According to information from the manufacturers, mirtazapine should not be started within two weeks of any
monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) usage; likewise, MAOIs should not be administered within two weeks of discontinuing mirtazapine.[SUP][58][/SUP] Mirtazapine in combination with an SSRI, SNRI, or TCA as an augmentation strategy is considered to be relatively safe and is often employed therapeutically,[SUP][42][/SUP] with a combination of venlafaxine and mirtazapine, sometimes referred to as "California rocket fuel".[SUP][59][60][/SUP]

Mirtazapine has antihistamine, α[SUB]2[/SUB]-blocker, and antiserotonergic activity.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][67][/SUP] It is specifically a potent antagonist or inverse agonist of the α[SUB]2A[/SUB]-, α[SUB]2B[/SUB]-, and α[SUB]2C[/SUB]-adrenergic receptors, the serotonin5-HT[SUB]2A[/SUB], 5-HT[SUB]2C[/SUB], and 5-HT[SUB]3[/SUB]receptors, and the histamineH[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][67][/SUP] Unlike many other antidepressants, it does not inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine,[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][67][/SUP] nor does it inhibit monoamine oxidase.[SUP][68][/SUP] Similarly, mirtazapine has weak or no activity as an anticholinergic or blocker of sodium or calcium channels, in contrast to most TCAs.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][67][/SUP][SUP][63][/SUP] In accordance, it has better tolerability and low toxicity in overdose.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][69][/SUP] As an H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor antagonist, mirtazapine is extremely potent, and is in fact the most potent of all the TCAs and TeCAs.[SUP][10][/SUP][SUP][70][/SUP][SUP][71][/SUP] Antagonism of the H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor is by far the strongest activity of mirtazapine, with the drug acting as a selective H[SUB]1[/SUB]receptor antagonist at low concentrations.[SUP][7][63][/SUP]
The (S)-(+) enantiomer of mirtazapine is responsible for antagonism of the serotonin 5-HT[SUB]2A[/SUB] and 5-HT[SUB]2C[/SUB] receptors,
[SUP][11][/SUP] while the (R)-(–) enantiomer is responsible for antagonism of the 5-HT[SUB]3[/SUB] receptor.[SUP][11][/SUP] Both enantiomers are involved in antagonism of the H[SUB]1[/SUB] and α[SUB]2[/SUB]-adrenergic receptors,[SUP][11][/SUP][SUP][5][/SUP] although the (S)-(+) enantiomer is the stronger antihistamine.[SUP][72][/SUP]
Although not clinically relevant, mirtazapine has been found to act as a
partial agonist of the κ-opioid receptor at high concentrations (EC[SUB]50[/SUB] = 7.2 μM).[SUP][73][/SUP]
α[SUB]2[/SUB]-Adrenergic receptor[edit]

Antagonism of the α[SUB]2[/SUB]-adrenergic receptors, which function largely as
inhibitoryautoreceptors and heteroreceptors, enhances adrenergic and serotonergicneurotransmission, notably central5-HT[SUB]1A[/SUB] receptor mediated transmission in the dorsal raphe nucleus and hippocampus; hence, mirtazapine's classification as a NaSSA. Indirect α[SUB]1[/SUB] adrenoceptor-mediated enhancement of serotonin cell firing and direct blockade of inhibitory α[SUB]2[/SUB]heteroreceptors located on serotonin terminals are held responsible for the increase in extracellular serotonin.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][13][/SUP][SUP][74][/SUP][SUP][75][/SUP][SUP][76][/SUP] Because of this, mirtazapine has been said to be a functional "indirect agonist" of the 5-HT[SUB]1A[/SUB]receptor.[SUP][75][/SUP] Increased activation of the central 5-HT[SUB]1A[/SUB] receptor is thought to be a major mediator of efficacy of most antidepressant drugs.[SUP][77][/SUP]
5-HT[SUB]2[/SUB] and 5-HT[SUB]3[/SUB] receptors[edit]

Antagonism of the 5-HT[SUB]2[/SUB] subfamily of receptors and inverse agonism of the 5-HT[SUB]2C[/SUB] receptor appears to be in part responsible for mirtazapine's efficacy in the treatment of depressive states.
[SUP][78][/SUP][SUP][79][/SUP] Mirtazapine increases dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex.[SUP][80][/SUP][SUP][81][/SUP] Accordingly, it was shown that by blocking the α[SUB]2[/SUB]-adrenergic receptors and 5-HT[SUB]2C[/SUB] receptors mirtazapine disinhibited dopamine and norepinephrine activity in these areas in rats.[SUP][82][/SUP] In addition, mirtazapine's antagonism of 5-HT[SUB]2A[/SUB] receptors has beneficial effects on anxiety, sleep and appetite, as well as sexual function regarding the latter receptor.[SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][42][/SUP] Mirtazapine has been shown to lower drug seeking behaviour in various human and animal studies.[SUP][83][/SUP][SUP][84][/SUP][SUP][85][/SUP] It is also being investigated in substance abuse disorders to reduce withdrawal effects and improve remission rates.[SUP][83][/SUP][SUP][86][/SUP][SUP][87][88][/SUP]
Antagonism of the 5-HT[SUB]3[/SUB] receptor, an action mirtazapine shares with the approved antiemetic
ondansetron, significantly improves pre-existing symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome in afflicted individuals.[SUP][89][/SUP] Mirtazapine may be used as an inexpensive antiemetic alternative to ondansetron.[SUP][24][/SUP] Blockade of the 5-HT[SUB]3[/SUB] receptors has also shown to improve anxiety and to be effective in the treatment of drug addiction in several studies.[SUP][90][/SUP] In conjunction with substance abuse counseling, mirtazapine has been investigated for the purpose of reducing methamphetamine use in dependent individuals with success.[SUP][84][/SUP] In contrast to mirtazapine, the SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, and some TCAs increase the general activity of the 5-HT[SUB]2A[/SUB], 5-HT[SUB]2C[/SUB], and 5-HT[SUB]3[/SUB] receptors leading to a host of negative changes and side effects, the most prominent of which including anorexia, insomnia, sexual dysfunction (loss of libido and anorgasmia), nausea, and diarrhea, among others. As a result, it is often combined with these drugs to reduce their side-effect profile and to produce a stronger antidepressant effect.[SUP][42][91][/SUP]
Mirtazapine does not have
serotonergic activity and does not cause serotonergic side effects or serotonin syndrome.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][92][/SUP] This is in accordance with the fact that it is not a serotonin reuptake inhibitor or MAOI, nor a serotonin receptor agonist.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][92][/SUP] There are no reports of serotonin syndrome in association with mirtazapine alone, and mirtazapine has not been found to cause serotonin syndrome in overdose.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][92][/SUP][SUP][93][/SUP] However, there are a handful of case reports of serotonin syndrome occurring with mirtazapine in combination with serotonergic drugs like SSRIs, although such reports are unusual, very rare, and do not necessarily implicate mirtazapine as causative.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][94][/SUP][SUP][95][/SUP][SUP][96][/SUP][SUP][97][/SUP][SUP][98][/SUP] The addition of mirtazapine to an MAOI does not cause serotonin syndrome, and has been considered to be a safe combination.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][92][/SUP] Moreover, mirtazapine may actually be useful in the treatment of serotonin syndrome, with at least one publication finding it to be effective in resolving the syndrome.[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][99][/SUP][SUP][100][/SUP] This is in accordance with the fact that the 5-HT[SUB]2A[/SUB] receptor is the predominant serotonin receptor thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of serotonin syndrome (with the 5-HT[SUB]1A[/SUB] receptor seeming to be protective).[SUP][9][/SUP][SUP][92][/SUP] Mirtazapine is a potent 5-HT[SUB]2A[/SUB] receptor antagonist, and cyproheptadine, a drug that shares this property, mediates recovery from serotonin syndrome and is well-established clinically as an antidote against it.[SUP][9][101][/SUP]
H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor[edit]

Mirtazapine is a very strong H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor inverse agonist and, as a result, it can cause powerful
sedative and hypnotic effects.[SUP][7][/SUP] A single 15 mg dose of mirtazapine to healthy volunteers has been found to result in over 80% occupancy of the H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor and to induce intense sleepiness.[SUP][72][/SUP] After a short period of chronic treatment, however, the H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor tends to desensitize and the antihistamine effects become more tolerable. Many patients may also dose at night to avoid the effects, and this appears to be an effective strategy for combating them. Blockade of the H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor may improve pre-existing allergies, pruritus, nausea, and insomnia in afflicted individuals. It may also contribute to weight gain, however. In contrast to the H[SUB]1[/SUB] receptor, mirtazapine has only low affinity for the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, although anticholinergic side effects like dry mouth, constipation, and mydriasis are still sometimes seen in clinical practice.[SUP][102][/SUP]
Pharmacokinetics[edit]

The
oralbioavailability of mirtazapine is about 50%. It is found mostly bound to plasma proteins, about 85%. It is metabolized primarily in the liver by demethylation and hydroxylation via cytochrome P450enzymes. One of its major metabolites is desmethylmirtazapine. The overall elimination half-life is 20–40 hours. About 15% is eliminated in feces and 75% in urine.[SUP][103]:430[/SUP]
History[edit]

Mirtazapine was first synthesized at
Organon and published in 1989, was first approved for use in major depressive disorder in the Netherlands in 1994, and was introduced in the United States in 1996 under the brand name Remeron.[SUP][103][/SUP][SUP]:429[/SUP][SUP][104][105][/SUP]

Chemistry[edit]

Mirtazapine is a
tetracyclic piperazinoazepine; mianserin was developed by the same team of organic chemists and mirtazapine differs from it via addition of a nitrogen atom in one of the rings.[SUP][103][/SUP][SUP]:429[/SUP][SUP][107][/SUP][SUP][108][/SUP] It is a racemic mixture of enantiomers. The (S)-(+)-enantiomer is known as esmirtazapine.
Analogues of mirtazapine include mianserin, setiptiline, and aptazapine.
Synthesis[edit]

Bro just smoke REAL WEED. That delta shit is like getting the jab. It's not even grown normal. It's all genetically modified and sprayed with tch chrystals and wtf is unregulated or not known about. Weed personally cranks the munchies threw the roof. I wont fuxxxx with nothing manipulated by stoners n giant corporate GREED. But I've also found alil mk677 will kick your appetite into overdrive
 
This thread reads like “The drugs are affecting _____ so what drugs can I take to fix the ________ side effects?”
 
Anadrol makes me hungry but sometimes it doesn't make me hungry.

It depends on the cycle. Honestly you really have to train yourself to eat. My friends and especially me had to train ourselves to eat 6-10 meals a day. Its not easy that's for sure. 3 out of 10 meals is shakes so that does help me, i can just gulp it down.

The only thing that "enhances" my appetite is MK677 and peptides like GHRP/CJC.
 
small very frequent meals.
ghrp2 & 6, mk677.
the sooner i eat after waking up the more i can eat through the day.
 
Hard fact.

If you want to be a freak, you're going to hate food at a certain point.

No amount if ghrp, this drug, that drug whatever will help long term.

Sit down, eat until you can't then eat until your done.

If you can't do that, re address your goals because it DOESN'T get any easier the bigger you get, it just gets harder.

Most assuredly the hardest variable for me is food, always has been food. Even now I’m feeling the daily challenge just trying to get enough calories to fire the metabolism up. I’m hitting it it about 3 days a week the other 4 I’m not meeting the macro need
