Well I can't get any sleep but nobody's gonna stop me from eating. Lol. I just ate a banana...the whole thing. I usually can only eat about half of one before the texture of it starts gagging me. Literally. I'm funny like that I guess. Right now it's 3am..about two hours ago I ate a piece of chocolate cake...and at 9 I ate 3 pieces of pizza...so imagine what I ate all day...my day usually starts at 5:20am.....
Yes! Tramadol zapped my appetite. I had to force myself to eat that one meal a day. It just felt chalky and tasteless. Now even a sandwich is soooo good! I'm more into cooking, too. Bon apetit!
I'm on the too-skinny side too this is good all around :)
I wish everyone the best and my prayers go out to all of you! It is great that this site is available for everyone!
Yeah most of us don't have an appetite during withdrawal, that's for sure.
I can't remember when mine came back but it was probably after a week.
I was starting to enjoy eating again until I went off the Effexor. Now I am back to no appetite and not sleeping. I would love to do more of both :(
Thanks Pat! That's reassuring. I hadn't heard about anyone increasing their appetite during withdrawal...only nausea and loss of appetite. From day one I've been like this. I was expecting to be sick to my stomach and vomiting and instead all I wanted was some sorta food to put in my mouth...I've actually gained about 4-5 lbs. lol.
Yes, your appetite comes back and you can't get enough to eat once you start. A lot of people have mentioned it. I don't know why.
Maybe our bodies are just wanting something. lol
