Who Complains about weight loss… right? I always wanted to lose weight but I feel ■■■■. I feel like I’m starving all the time but no desire to eat.
I felt like that when I went to 15mg abilify. It’s kind of gotten back to normal again though. Maybe it’s just temporary.

I know that NHS doctors at GP surgeries used to refer people wanting to lose weight to a nurses who gave free gym membership to patients. It was an excellent scheme and worked well until funding for it was cut. I don’t know what doctors do to help now though. Maybe something to do with weight watchers. It would be interesting to find out if anyone else knows.
Denying yourself food is a problem. Everyone deserve a treat sometimes, especially at weekends!

It’s not just you, ish. I’ve been losing 4lbs. a week since I’ve been on 30mg Abilify. I’m afraid when I see my pdoc and they weigh me they’ll think I stopped eating again due to paranoia and put me back in the hospital. I feel physically hungry, too, in my gut, but just don’t feel like eating in my head.
I’m trying to buy high calorie foods for when I do eat, drinking chocolate milk…I hope you feel better soon.

I’ve said it over and over. But, try calorie counting with www.MyFitnessPal.com and exercise everyday. And cut out the pop and artificial sweeteners. Works for me. My BMI is 22.8 within normal limits.
I hate pop… I am not sure what that even is. I do not drink coke. I hate the stuff. I had two doughnuts today. But the whole day I had: Two weatabix, salad at lunch, two doughnuts, and a roll my mum made.
You are not eating enough to lose weight. If you go on the app. www.MyFitnessPal.com, you will learn that you have to eat enough calories in order to lose weight. Starving yourself makes you gain weight.
I have actually lost 7 pounds in a few weeks. I am not intentionally starving myself. I feel hungry but no desire to eat. It is hard to look at food. I feel sick to the stomach. The wheatabix i had in the morning I had to force it down… this is not funn

I would rather be fat and not feel like I am starving all the time. I want back my desires to eat. My motivation right now is not to lose or gain.
Oh, ok. Are you nauseated when you think of food? I would do as you say and see a doctor.

I simply don’t think of it… I want to feel happy to look at food. I am not suffering from an eating disorder … My motivation isn’t to lose weight… it’s just happening on it’s own. Right now I want to focus on getting my love for food back…
I think you are right. You need to see a doctor.

Same thing happened to me very recently. I just didn’t want to eat. And was having symptoms but didn’t realize it. They upped my meds a few days ago and my appetite is back.
