Hi all, did anyone develop Night Eating Syndrome since surgery?

Are you taking any sleeping pills? Other new medications? Sometimes certain medications can cause this.

I have never heard of anyone who has mentioned this in my six months here. What are your symptoms? I ask because I wonder if it could be grazing which is common post surgery.

Not heard of it on this forum either. My thought was sleeping meds too. Zolpidem (Ambien & Stilnox) is quite notorious for it - my mum experienced it on Stilnox. Have you spoken to your doctor? What do they suggest?

Ooh yea, I forgot about my brief experience with Ambien. I would get up and cook and eat and not remember any of it. I would just find the mess in the morning and realize i did it. Luckily I didn’t burn the house down. I stopped taking it when i realized I went to Walmart half asleep on it and got pulled over and got a warning for erratic driving (I had no recollection of it. Just the Walmart purchases and the written warning). Scary stuff.
