| pubmed:abstractText |
A man with AIDS is described in whom a profound weight loss was converted into a weight gain by treatment with megoestrol acetate, a synthetic progesterone. His appetite improved and was accompanied by a feeling of improved well-being. Following abrupt discontinuation of the drug, there was a significant but transient depression of mood and appetite associated with loss of energy; it is suggested that this complex of symptoms might represent a megoestrol acetate withdrawal-associated syndrome.
