Have you been on cortisone? I remember joking with my former rheumatologist "get me off this stuff before I eat the house!"
Thank you Jesus! Someone had the same thing,. I thought it was me, for sometimes in the middle of the night l get so, so hungry. I just didn't think it was the fibro, or any of my meds, l thought it was winter time and l just was eating a lot. So now l try to eat something before going to bed, if not l am so hungry ๐ฎWhen l go out l think of food, and that is not me at all. I be interested to see the answers to your question. Love, love this group for you are "not" alone. Stay so blessed in our Lord Jesus. ๐
Make sure you wean off slowly though, you should ask your doctor how much at a time to subtract. I hope you find what works for you. ๐

I think it may be Cymbalta. I'm actually going to quit taking these meds as they have caused worse insomnia and I think the hunger pains.
Praying for you all that you find relief! The Lord is our comfort, he empathizes with our pain. ๐
I have experienced hunger pains, especially in the night, but I put it down to cutting my portion intake as I've been put on Gabapentin for pain relief & one of the side effects is weight gain.. now I'm wondering if it's just another weird & wonderful fibro symptom!?๐
