So i havent taken my medication all summer (and gained about 10 pounds during that time actually...). I started taking it again this last monday, and since monday I have eaten maybe the equivelant of 1 meal a day.
I can feel my stomach growl but I don't have the hungry feeling. when i think about food it really doesnt seem appealing. Once i force myself to eat, after maybe 5 or 6 bites of food i am gagging and trying to force the food down. eventually I just stop eating.
at night when its time to go to bed, ill stay up until maybe 3 or even 4 am just staring into space. it doesnt matter how tired i am, i just cant sleep. eventually i do fall asleep, but once something wakes me up (someone walking outside, a dog barking) im up for good.
I took the meds before summer, and even about 3 weeks into summer, and at that time i never had a problem like this. I mean, my appetite was a little smaller, but i still ate roughly the same amount. I never had sleeping issues before now.
I feel like this medication is killing me. im not getting the nutrition i need or the sleep. i need help but idk what to do. i cant change medication because i start school next week. if im off the medication im like a 6 year old. would depression affect the way the medication works? since the end of last summer my depression has kind of gotten worse, but i didn't think it would do this. can someone help me? please?
