I don’t get hungry… or maybe it’s that I eventually get physically hungry but have no appetite and no desire to eat anything. The only way I can change this is by drinking a lot of caffeine and then waiting for my blood sugar to crash. That seems to be the only thing to motivate me to eat. I still force myself to eat food anyways but it is very unsatisfying.

That’s funny, caffeine seems to have the opposite effect on me. It suppresses my appetite. But I don’t have any lack of appetite problems.

I’m either not hungry AT ALL for long lengths of time or starving haha My weight goes dramatically up and down sometimes because of that
I’ve been kinda depressed to make lunch and dinner.
My brother came over and I just gave him lots of stuff and he’s a creative cook. Yummy.
Then I gave him a g big bag of groceries because he can’t find s job.
Yes, I often can only eat a healthy portion of anything when I am at my Mom’s (it’s less stressful here and less symptoms).
Also - I’ve noticed I eat often very late in the evening or very late at night.
I’m either not hungry at all or completely ravenous.
I’m the same, i think night is the only time I actually get somewhat hungry. During the day it’s like I don’t need to eat at all.
Yeah I totally understand. The day-time is always too stressful for me. I always hear neighbors complaining, slamming doors, and then my voices on top of all this.
Overall - too much stress.
my appetite is almost inexistent since i quit zyprexa and started geodon i actually like it makes dieting a lot easier

I feel sick when I eat because I’ll eat then look at my body and feel disgusted in myself. I don’t throw up or anything but I just feel ashamed of eating. It doesn’t help that my little brother calls me fat all the time and teases me for not being athletic like him. I smoke and that usually makes me not hungry. I don’t really eat during the day anymore in fact I usually eat at like 11-12 at night and not even a real kind of meal. I just find at that time of night he’s not there to judge me.
I’m really not happy with my body right now either. I just have way too much pudge still from when risperdal made me put on all that weight. I have stretch marks now for crying out loud. I feel so self conscious and unhappy with it. I am trying to diet myself but it is so hard for me to have regular access to healthy food.
I crave a lot of carbs and sugars it’s a constant battle to stay at an acceptable weight, but I manage.
I also have found stretch marks on my body. My medications are sertraline and olanzapine and they made me gain a lot of weight because before those pills I was 100 pounds now I’m like 170.
I only have appetite problems when I have a cold
I’m on my diet, training myself to eat less, you are hungry at the start of the diet but after about 3 weeks much smaller amounts fill you up. I only eat when I need to now
