Hi, It sounds like stress is making you overeat before sleep. There isn’t a safe medicine just to “reduce hunger,” but stress and sleep can be managed better with healthy routines, relaxation, and sometimes counseling. Eating light but filling foods (salads, soups, fruits, nuts) in the evening may also help. About melatonin: Both 3 mg and 6 mg are generally safe and not habit-forming. They can help regulate sleep, but if you need it regularly, it’s best to discuss with a doctor to find and treat the root cause of your stress and sleep problems.

Melatonin is for sleep You must consult a Psychiatrist for detailed assessment of symptoms in terms of Duration, frequency, associated mood symptoms, Other physical conditions like HTN, DM, gastric upset etc * After a detailed evaluation, management will be planned in the form of medications plus relaxation exercises, problem solving techniques etc Melatonin is for sleep, not a medication for root cause I .E anxiety or mood disorder

overheating is one of the most common symptom of stress or an inability to manage emotional concerns. I suggest you take care of that and you will find the reduce of hunger. Body starts showing symptoms like overheating or loss of appetite or loss of sleep. when the stress is not managed or considered at priority.

Stress eating followed by difficulty sleeping is often linked to anxiety and poor coping with emotions, rather than true hunger. Eating heavily before bed can disturb sleep quality.

Hi you’re struggling with stress eating using food for comfort to the point where you feel uncomfortably full, and then it also affects your sleep. This pattern can feel very frustrating, especially when your mind says “I know I shouldn’t” but the urge feels uncontrollable. There are some medicines that can reduce appetite, but they are not recommended as the first solution because they come with side effects and don’t solve the root problem. Psychiatrists sometimes prescribe medicines for anxiety, depression, or sleep that also help reduce stress eating indirectly. But the safest and most effective approach is usually therapy (CBT for emotional eating), combined with lifestyle strategies. Please don’t self-medicate talk to your psychiatrist if you feel medication is necessary. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hi.. will need further history regarding the same to advise appropriately. Consult online for further evaluation and management

Hello, Stress eating & hunger: Stress and anxiety can trigger frequent hunger and overeating. Instead of only looking for medicines, it is important to address the root cause (stress, mood, or sleep issues). Lifestyle changes such as fixed meal timings, high-fiber foods, exercise, relaxation techniques (deep breathing, yoga, meditation) are first steps. Medicines for reducing hunger: There is no safe "hunger-reducing" medicine recommended for routine use without full evaluation. Some medications may reduce appetite, but they are prescribed only under strict medical supervision and usually for obesity or metabolic conditions. Melatonin: Melatonin is a sleep-regulating supplement, not for controlling hunger. Usual effective dose is 3 mg at night; higher doses (6 mg) are sometimes used, but benefit doesn’t necessarily increase. It is not habit forming like sleeping pills, but regular unsupervised use is not advisable.

I hear your struggle. Medicines for hunger aren’t the real solution working on stress and sleep will help more. Melatonin isn’t habit-forming, but it’s better short-term. You deserve rest without punishing your body..

Hii.. Stress eating can cause many problems both mentally and physically.. There should be complete evaluation of the root cause and other history of the eating pattern to treat the condition.. Melatonin may cause tolerance after long term use.. Consult online for further assessment and treatment.
