I am somewhat concerned about how I never seem to get hungry. It’s 3 pm now and I am not hungry at all. I thought Zoloft improved my appetite but today it’s nonexistent again. Me having no appetite is bad because it means no food sounds good so I end up eating comfort food to get myself to eat which is fattening and unhealthy. Does anyone else just never feel hungry?

Do you eat a lot of sugar or carbs? If you have a lot of that in your system, you will not be hungry.
Check to see what amount of carbs you need and track how much you eat per day.
I suppose so, but the last thing I ate was a handful or two of chips at 4 am last night.
That might be considered a lot of chips, depending on your weight and exercise level. If it were me, it would be a lot, and I exercise routinely.
i don’t feel hunger the same way anymore i just force myself to eat 500 calories when its time to take my meds and i might have something small in between so that I’m not undereating
i think its a good thing to not be hungry i can think about other things and get more stuff done now when i was hungry all day on my last med all i could think about was what am i gonna eat next
This happens to me a lot
But, I have a nasty voice in my head that keeps me from eating
So I force myself to eat at least one good meal a day
I’ll be honest, a lot of the time it is comfort food
But I’m trying to get out of the habit of that
I hope your appetite comes back
Starving is no fun
Have your anxiety levels dropped since you went on zoloft? I used to eat because it helped anxiety.
Yeah they have.
Weirdly I seem to get hungrier at night then during the day. It used to be that I would sleep most of the day, maybe have a small snack, then I’d be up and have my meals in the later evening and night.
I’m nocturnal…

In the past I had often the feeling that my stomach was empty but I was not hungry; or I felt that I was very tired but not sleepy. The antidepressants helped me.
I wish I had that problem
