That is normal to have low appetite. It will come back, just try to eat when you feel like it, some healthy is the best...

You are early in the medicine's cycle, so it is going to be a bit of time before you are back to normal appetite.

The stomach/appetite is so connected to serotonin and when your stomach is well so is your mind....

Hang in there. One thing I used to do was have smoothies (with yogurt and fruits) which was easier to eat and full of nutrients...

thanks for that

I've only been on it for 5 days now and I've noticed today that I really can't eat. Just need to drink plenty of fluid. Don't know if this is just today, or it's going to be longer term. Feels like it may go on for a while, but then again I've put on a shed load since my anxiety/dipression kicked in again 3 months ago, so I'm not that bothered.
