If you take antidepressants has this ever happened to you?

Sometimes I forget to eat...
Or I just feel really full...
I find that I start eating and I don't want to eat as much as I used to...

Eating later in the day and early evening seems to be enough for me...
So two meals a day max.

Which one are you on

Lexapro (once it kicks in for me) would always make me have more of an appetite (but I wouldn’t be hungry til later in the day and then would eat stupid shitty shit)

"Sometimes I forget to eat." I did not know that was possible.

@ProfessorPlum77 Yea... Now that I'm on them I find myself keeping busy. Which wasn't happening before. I used to just be bored and not able to plan anything in the day. It was bad because I had anxiety too. So I'd stress about wanting/needing to do something and then panic because I didn't know what to start with or how to tackle any task.
Now I wake up happy and I find I'm able to manage my time. And I always have plenty of time left over to do nothing too. Lol
Hunger though doesn't seem to get triggered until dinner time when I'm ReAlLy hungry.

Some antidepressants (like Zoloft) are known to suppress the appetite. A friend actually lost 100 lb (that she could afford) while taking it. Paxil, on the other hand has been reported to increase one’s appetite and people have gained weight.

@bijouxbroussard I think setraline is equivalent to zoloft in the US... Always good to know these things tbh.

Personally despite everything that’s happened in my life I have never taken any prescription meds such as anxiety blockers or antidepressants bc I’m genuinely concerned over their side affects

I use cbd oil to help me de stress and avoid caffeine completely

To each their own ~ I understand why some people use them, ultimately it’s important we help ourselves and each other as much as we can 🌹

So here I am.
