I often find food boring as though it’s hard to stimulate my palate but I overeat . It’s not as though there’s a great feeling of satisfaction when I’ve finished. Compulsion without pleasure?
Food is like medicine for me - when I am anxious, I eat, when I am depressed, I eat - food is filling a void in me.
My meds make me constantly hungry, and lots of time I crave carbohydrates (pasta)
I have been eating cereal like crazy. I don’t know why my appetite is getting so jacked up. Maybe it’s the same reasons as you Wave. I go until my stomach is full and it’s comforting.

I crave cereal too - more carbs
I crave any type of food when I’m stressed out. While I’m feeling okay at the moment, my sweet tooth is coming out because I’m fighting away some butterflies. That sounds silly but it’s true…I feel like my meds make me want to eat. I was never like this before.

I’ve gained so much weight since I started this journey. I’m working on losing some of it now though. I’ve adopted the Nutrisystem diet plan to help me lose weight, and I am down 27 pounds. It’s so hard though, because I’m only supposed to eat their foods (plus limited extras) and right now I want nothing more than a piece of Oreo pie.

I find dieting easier when I eat the same foods I ate before. Only cut way back on the carbs. Eating them makes me want to eat again shortly after. Zyprexa doesn’t help, but adding 1/2 to 1 milligrams of Risperdone helps with what zyprexa causes. It might not for everyone.
