love_stoned22 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ok this has been going on for a few weeks now. I have lost what I think is a lot of weight, considering my normal weight is only around 110lbs and now I'm down to barely 100lbs. I'm just never hungry. I can literally go all day without eating. I have to force myself to eat, even foods that I love. I have never had this problem before and it is really starting to worry me. I was diagnosed a few years ago with major depression and I am on medication for it. At first I thought maybe one of my antidepressants was causing me to lose my appetite, but I have talked to my psychiatrist about it and he seems to think that the medication I'm on isn't causing it. I don't know what else it could be..could I really be that depressed that I'm losing this much weight? Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I'm at a loss of what to do at this point..

sidehop Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Doesn't sound normal, have you checked online to see if the medication does suppress appetite? Every body is different, it could very well be one of the side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacrimosa Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 A few years ago I went through a bad break up and was very depressed. Food made me nauseous, so I stopped eating. I lost around 10lbs, which is also a lot for me. I thought the not-eating-rut would reverse itself, it didn't. I continued to waste away until I went to the doctor and had a blood test. I had a hyperactive thyroid (controls the metabolism) and it may have been spurred by the stress of the break up. To make a long story short, it wouldn't hurt to have your physical health examined also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
