Why can't i eat??!


Question: I have been put on some anti-depressants after getting post natal depression from having my second son
They are called Lofepramine 70mg
I have been taking them for 5 days now and ever since the day before yesterday i have just had no appetite at all, i have probably eaten the equivalent of one meal in the last 3 days and that is only when i have basically forced myself to eat, i just do not feel hungry at all and when i make something to try it i try to eat it but i just really don't want it at all, i have already dropped a few pounds but i'm a bit worried that this may be an effect of these tablets and i'l end up anorexic, but not purposely if i make sense???

All answers are greatly appreciated

You are not going to "end up anorexic", sweetie. You already are. Clinical anorexia is characterized by loss of appetite and loss of interest in food. It is as if the food itself has no taste at all. I, too, suffered with this along with post natal depression after my second son. Be sure to tell your medicating physician (whoever prescribed that Lofepreamine) about this new symptom. In the meantime, Force It ~~~ for yourself and your little one. I know it is hard. You can always e-mail a friend for support, too. Like me.You will be in my heart. Love and Luck-MissDelanne

wow. i can't stop eating tbh :)

It maybe your body getting used to the anti depressants. Give it a few days and if your no better i'd go back to your doctor.

you might be under a lot of stress,or not hungry

maybe watever your takeing or u havint eatin in awhile so u got use to not eating

You'll be fine. Talk to your doctor today.

i've been prescribed lofrepramine for depression and found them to really help me. They did take about 10 days to get into my system and me feel 'normal' again. I did lose some weight while i was taking the tablets and noticed a loss of appetite, although this was something i was quite happy about. I would say you'll get your appetite back once you're used to the tablets. If you're worried though speak to your doctor as there maybe other tablets available that don't have this effect on you.

ask you'r doctor some slimming products contain anti depressents or it might just be u're a bad cook and don't fancy eating what u make see u're doctor love

call your RX person
usually not grapefruit
check the bottle or paperwork
or just call them

if you have lost your appetite start drinking dandelion tea which you can get from GNC a few times a day . it works well

Could be side affects of the pills. do some research on it. side effects,ingedients and benefits included. Make sure it is not conflicting with any pills(vitamins/supplements) that you already taking. Keep a log all foods you consume and make sure there is no conflict between the tablets and what you consume.
