Struggling to eat .....Zoloft

[Jodz]

Hi I’m 4 weeks today since starting Zoloft . Have had a few side effects . But I’m still struggling to eat a whole dinner . I’m feeling hungry when I start cooking tea , dish it up and have about 4 mouthfuls and I feel as if I want to be sick . Tea time is the worst . Does anyone else get this ?

Yeah. Anorexia can be one of the initial side effects. It should go away within 6 to 8 weeks of starting Zoloft. I know you're still fairly new on it.

Try eating several small meals throughout the day. Keep easy things on hand to grab whenever you do feel hungry. Fruit. Granola bars. Hard boiled eggs. Mixed nuts. Things you can grab as soon as the hunger hits that are high caloric value and high in nutrients. It does go away/ get better but it can be worrying at first.
