Rough First Week

[Branda]

It's been one week today since I started the Lexapro. I have zero appetite, constant nausea and diarrhea (TMI, sorry). I have lost 3 pounds due to the lack in appetite. Anyone else experiencing this?

Keep going with it Branda. I don't want to say force yourself to eat. Yet, if you keep going without it won't do your body any good. You need to take meds with a little something anyway.

If you have such a bad lack of appetite, try drinking milk. It is a kind of food drink and may help to bring back your appetite. I'm not sure what country you are in but here in the UK we have something called Complan. It is for people who have been sick and not eating well. It is fortified with vitamins and minerals to help the patient get back on track and give back an appetite. Try something like that which you should be able to find in a larger pharmacy.

You are doing really well. keep in touch and let us know how you are doing.

Thank you jane. The nausea is subsiding and I drank some milk. Seems to be helping.

You're welcome, Branda. I hope your appetite comes back. What do you normally like to eat?
