Tired of not being hungry.

[Whippetmama]

Does anyone have a trick for overcoming the total loss of appetite that I have as a side effect of the levodopa/carbidopa? I've lost 40 pounds but don't worry, I have a lot left to more than sustain me for quite some time. I just miss eating.

That’s a lot of weight! I can’t think of anything that would stimulate appetite. Maybe exercise like gentle jogging? I’m always more hungry after exercise.

Be careful not to increase dose of dopamine agonists.

Canibus always seems to have the effect of munchies / weight gain. Plus there has been a lot said on here about it helping with RLS. I have not been been brave enough to pull the trigger, but perhaps it might be a double help to you.

If you've lost 40 pounds and have more to lose then it is probably a good thing that levodopa reduces your appetite. Try and gain some other pleasure, maybe from sharing a coffee with friends.
