Loss of Appetite

I am taking Vyvanse and Prozac, and I'm having trouble getting myself to eat. I am still in a healthy weight range, so I'm not worried about that. But I've been weak, fatigued, and dizzy at times because I'm not eating enough. Are there any protein shakes I should try, or something like that, so I can be getting the nutrients I need? I hate most protein shakes because I can't stand the texture, and they're usually gross. But I have to do something.

I haven't tried anything yet, because i didn't really know where to start. I'll look into the ensure or boost, that may work

It's the medication making you not eat. You should eat foods high in protein. I would not go the protein shake route. Have you tried drinking boost or ensure shakes after eating your meals? These will help give you the vitamins and protein you need and they are not the texture of protein shakes.
