ive been off meds since end of november. my appetite went away probably in late december. ive lost about 18 pounds since then. i have zero appetite. not tempted by anything. i just force myself to eat something once a day cause i know it would be real bad not too. only my stomach gets hungry after like 20 hrs without food but not my brain.

Well probably not a good thing physically nor mentally in the long run.
No idea how to respond because I’ve lost a lot of weight but it’s on meds.
It’s always a lottery giving up the meds. You might do ok. You might not.
Just don’t expect things to go good if they go south is all I’m saying!

I dont really get cravings for any food that is unhealthy off meds like i do when on them. Ive lost a ton of weight every time i go off them. I think its partly from the dulling effect they have on life. Most things just dont seem to matter or have any weight to them on the meds. Which i guess is partly the point. We arent going to be freaking out or raving about anything if its like that. Even if still a bit delusional or whatever.
But alas, im in a good middle ground lately. Im on a low dose of abilify that keeps me well and doesnt knock me out. Feels a bit like limbo. Like im free of positive symptoms and have energy. But im also not cognitively sharp enough to get a job or move forward in life. Hoping this pdoc appointment i have coming up in a few weeks will change things for the better.
Be careful off meds irrelevent! But im sure you know the ins and outs of all that. If im not mistaken, i think youve been on the forum for a while and have good insight to how sz works.
Anyway, sorry i feel i always make the longest comments out of almost everyone on here haha.
Good luck.

Everyone has to eat not just because they are hungry. Your body requires food.
I still ate a lot off meds
