Has Anyone Else Had Anxiety Meds Which Changed Their Eating Habits?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been eating a lot less since I started on this new medication almost a month ago. I've never had major issues with my eating habits before. Now I'm barely getting hungry, I only really eat because I know I need to and I like the taste. I've gotten hungry twice in the last few days and a sandwich was more than enough. Normally that's like an appetizer.

My experience has normally been, the anti anxiety medicine makes me more hungry. But, everyone is different and respond differently to medicine.

I have. They didn't mention anything about loss of appetite in the side affects. Was just wondering if anyone else had experienced it or if it might be some other factor causing it.

Yeah I was scared but it leveled off.

Wow. That's quite a bit. I have lost a little bit of weight, but it's not drastic. I'm now forcing myself to eat a bit more often because I can't eat as much as I normally do.

My appetite has decreased as well but I think it's because of feeling stuck in a dark hole. I make myself eat and track it to make sure I'm hitting my food groups. I lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks.
