Loss of Appetite

[susieeQT]

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.

Hi I am 21 with 2 kids, C section and i have been small all my life. I haven't had the best appetite for years since i was small even while pregnant with my first. I lose weight faster than i gain and i try to eat and gain but nothing works because i never have the appetite i need to eat food. I will only eat things i like such as lasagna and burgers and hot dogs and pizza and things like that. then i bought a protein shake called serious mass to gain weight and i'm hoping that works even though i was told i have to eat 3 meals a day and drink the shake in between. i need help getting myself to eat and i'm thinking about buying pills that gives me appetite. please help me

Hello,

I hear that you are struggling to eat as a result of loss of appetite. This may or may not be related to the medication you are taking. I would recommend sharing this information with the doctor who prescribed these medications for you so that he/she may assess your symptoms and choose the best course of action.
