Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: 5 hours ago | Replies (51)Comment receiving replies
I have no appetite and if my husband didn’t prepare food for me to eat, I’d be long gone. I don’t even have the incentive to make a cup of coffee for myself. I am somehow maintaining my weight after my drastic 45 pound weight loss brought on by the medication. Every day in addition to my meager meals, I try to drink a protein drink called Premier Protein which has 30 grams of protein, 160 calories and 5 grams of carbs. You can buy it at CVS, Walmart, etc. Wishing better times for us all.

I understand exact having no appetite. I live alone so I have to force myself to eat something nutritious once or twice a day.
I always loved food until this disaster got a hold on me mid December 2024. It's relentless. I am down probably 20 to 25 pounds in a short time because of this. I feel like I am struggling to stay alive. There are moments little windows where I feel my anxiety way down and comfortable however I have extreme insomnia as of late haven't slept in 3 days and it's been very difficult to just get out of bed and around the apartment doing basics like food, laundry, bathing. Then I just go back to my comfort zone in bed and try to keep my sanity.
