complete loss of appetite

[carrieprice1998]

i have had a complete loss of appetite with no desire for food at all, can anxiety cause this?

Yep, this has always been an issue for me. Normally I love to eat. When I am in a bad spot I really can't. But it is REALLY important to make yourself hit calorie goals for the day or you will only go downhill. If you end up experiencing significant weight loss there are a couple of medications that help with anxiety and can stimulate appetite, like mirtazapine, that may be right for you.

Yes definitely it did for me I couldn't eat or fancy anything Even really yummy things like chocolate I couldn't eat a thing I used Complan not sure if they still sell it ? It's all I could stomach but as I got better my appetite returned it was an amazing feeling the first time I fancied something to eat

Wishing you all the very very best take good care of yourself xx
