Apetamin did help enhance my appetite as well as help with my allergies. It definitely works but has side effects. I did not start out with the recommended dose because I was unsure if it would agree with me. I was able to tolerate when I only took a very small amount once or twice daily. I recommend to drink plenty water as well. I only take once daily now depending how I tolerate it, but it does help increase my appetite. I recommend to consult with your doctor before trying.
