Insatiable hunger after coming off weight loss injection

Has anyone else experienced this or have any advice?

I came off the injections due to side effects which were not manageable. The first week was ok, but from week two onwards I feel insatiably hungry. I get intense hunger pangs from the moment I wake up that are painful and uncomfortable. Nothing seems to fill me up, I'll eat a meal and 20 minutes later feel like I could eat another whole meal. I find myself having rounds of snacks trying to satiate the feeling of hunger. The only thing I can compare it to is the hunger I feel the day before my period, but it's more intense. I have given up hope that the weight I have lost will not all be regained (and probably more), as no amount of will power or mental gymnastics seems to help.

I think I read that being/feeling hungry almost immediately after eating can be a sign of diabetes or pre-diabetes; have you been checked for that? Could the drug have pushed you towards it possibly? Let's face it, who really knows what they do, even in the short term...
It could also maybe be some kind of reset, or malabsorption possibly, and resurgence of the hormones that were being supressed?
(Just my thoughts; I have not taken it myself.)

Rebound hunger and weight gain is a known side effect. It can also cause blood sugar spikes. It's why they're not meant for short term use. What has you GP said about stopping them/side effects?

Have you tried berberine or myo-inositol?
Have a look online & see if you think they may help
