    Inhaler & Increased Appetite

    It started the same day I started the inhaler (Monday) and has continued since, it only started helping last night too. It's like that pregnant feeling of "I must eat now or I might just die" LOL.

    I get that with my inhaler as well. I also have had to take prednisolone with my asthma before which has caused HUGE appetite increases.

    In animals, when they have any steriods, there is like an instant reaction of hunger. We often have to remind owners to not over feed their animals, as they will put on heaps of weight. In our chemo patients, we have been known to give a small dose of steroids in order to help improve appetite.

    Steroids for three years for my arthritis - NOT good! At least with the prednisone that I take it does settle after a bit, and it does seem to stop as soon as the steroids stop, too.
