ADs don't begin to work this quickly. It usually takes 4-12 weeks for them to kick-in and it tends to become a little longer each time they are stopped and restarted. You may also need to take a higher dose than the last time to achieve the same response.
any ideas on how I can reignite my love for food again it would be most welcome - finding it really difficult to get excited about my favourite things to eat after all of this!
If it is anxiety then it will likely happen naturally as the med takes effect.
