i take 75mgIR 4x/day with xanax as needed. at first, the loss of appetite is very prominent because it feels like everything gets put on edge. i wasn't hungry or thirsty or sleepy for that matter. i still do not drink enough water and my hunger fluctuates. i know i've been on it more than half a year, but i forgot when i started. it's the perfect thing for me and i now have the energy necessary to tackle the difficulties of life; and i couldn't get suicidal if i wanted to because it's just not findable anymore.
i also crave sweets. (i've always craved sweets my whole life.) this is what does the trick for me: i buy these protein bars at a healthfood store that are high protein, low carb, and covered in chocolate (!) the trick seems to be that there has to be just enough carb/sweet without there being too much. the really low carb bars do nothing for my sweet needs. the low carb bars have around 2g, and the ones i eat are more like 11g. (some bars are 30g+ and that's too much.) anyway, they're good for me and they satisfy my sweet-tooth. they're about 140cals, and not the 250+cals many have. hope this is a good lead for you.
