My appetite totally disappeared. I was losing weight and my weight decreased to 71 # from 108 # which is my normal weight. After much reading and research, i asked my doctor about Megace. He gave me a prescription for Megace and when I went to fill the prescription, the price was ridiculous! It was $1,800.00 at every pharmacy. (I don't have medication insurance). Then, I looked into the generic form of Megace and it was much more reasonable at $40.00. I started my generic Megace and my appetite came back full force! I found myself eating like a Trojan horse! I am now 6# away from my goal of 108# and I might try to go even a little higher than that!
