It definitely affects appetite, this is due to some physiology in the brain, but bottomline yes it can cause you to eat more and less!. You eat foods that taste delicious because they taste good to you, you want to feel good so you keep eating!. Other times you are just so down that you don't feel like doing anything and you eat less!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some medications can cause you to eat more!. On my unit in the hospital if we have a patient who has anxiety and refuses to eat the doctor will prescribe Zydis (Zyprexa)!. The main side effect is increased appetite!. Check with your doctor regarding your meds!. He may be able to change them to something just as effective without that side effect!.

I have anxiety and used to take Paxil which they say "packs on the pounds" --what it does it makes you feel hungry, so you eat, and gain weight!. With my current medication, Effexor XR I find that I don't feel more or less hungry, no real side effects!. I don't think anxiety in and of itself caused me to eat more or less though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
