Hi does anyone have trouble eating while anxious .I sometimes can't eat hardly anything for a few days just little bits then when i do eat again its goes straight through me if you know what i mean and i get such a dry mouth/tongue its awful

[milo1]

hi sharoniou how are you today i have lost 2 stone somedays i barely eat anything just feel so sick i do try and eat a banana every day it is really hard i drink a lot of water for the dry mouth and i think that fills me up cant win hope you dont mind me asking but did you have any side effects on the amytrip and what dose were you taking

[Hidden]

Hi no had no side effects on them apart from feeling a bit groggy on a morning but that soon passed and i was on 10mg but could take one or two a night .I've lost nearly 3 stone since got anxiety but i was overweight so i bound afford to loose it

[Hidden]

Def lost weight I now try to eat five small meals a day or nibble a lot ! Still trying

[Hidden]

I try to eat bits but the food feels like it gets stuck in my mouth at times have ate more the last few days but keep having to run to the loo as my body is not used to having food its a vicious circle.i have also developed a habit of having to suck a mint or sweet all the time its crap lol

[milo1]

thanks but did they not help with anxiety they can be used for depression also x

[milo1]

i am asking because my doc offered them to me but of course i said no too scared dont know what i am going to do x

[Hidden]

Hi didn't help with anxiety just sleep and relaxed the muscles on a night.They where not prescribed for my anxiety just to help me on a night time are you on them also

[Hidden]

I wouldn't be frightened to take them but they Wont help with anxiety just sleep

[milo1]

no too scared but if you were o k on them then why dont you increase your dose and use them for the anxiety i have read some good reports better than trying some thing else ask your doc if you have found something that suits you why change it x

[Hidden]

Because they make you sleep so could not take them during the day as i would just be asleep all the time and that's not what i want.I need something to keep my anxiety down during the day so i can do things without having a panic all the time

[milo1]

if you look up this drug it can be used for anxiety with very positive feedback x

[Hidden]

Well they did not do anything for mine and i was on them for 6 months just relaxed me and made me sleep on a night time if they had helped with my anxiety i would of stayed on them without a second thought believe me x

[milo1]

sharoniou the dose for anxiety is a lot higher but that does not mean it will make you sleep more ask your doc for info i am only trying to help you i wish i could take something i am falling apart x

[Hidden in reply to milo1]

I know your only trying to help love but i know that when i took a higher dose it made me groggy the next morning and i dont want to feel like that all day and my doctor told me not to take them during when day x have you started your medication yet i know your sacred but if you are struggling take them dont suffer x

[milo1]

no have not started much too scared if i carry on like this i will be sectioned and god knows what they will give me then going to go for a little while very upset like crying my eyes out x

[Hidden in reply to milo1]

Ah love take the medication it will help you message me later to let me know how you are take care x

I'm the opposite.

I crave sweet things like chocolate and all the bad stuff such as pies, cakes etc when I feel anxious.

When I feel okay I normally eat mainly salad, fruit and vegetables, but as soon as I get stressed I want a Mars bar badly!

Yes yes yes! In the beginning I hardly ate and told my wife to force me to eat something. Still don't eat a lot now but we make sure that there's fruit here (banana and apples) and soups in case I can't eat.

What I have found good though (apart from the bananas) are a few small chocolates in the evening (mine are minstrels and maltesers). They make me feel okish and can relax and watch a film.

However, do dream of a lovely cooked breakfast or sausage and egg sandwiches or even bacon and egg sandwiches! Lol

[Hidden]

YES! I can't eat a thing. It's terrible. Then if I do manage something then I end up being sick or reaching for hours. It's exhausting. Sorry ur feeling so bad hun
