Appetite Stimulation: Medicinal Marijuana, Marinol, and Megace by Nelson Vergel and Michael Mooney (Issue # 7, October, 1998):"Appetite stimulants can be an important part of the optimal approach to increasing lean body mass in HIV. However, all appetite stimulants are not equal in their effects on your overall health and well-being. The first drug used for appetite in the early years of AIDS was Megace. The Medibolics article on Megace showed us that Megace should probably be relegated to the status of the problematic dinosaur drug that it is."
