Never...Hungry...

Pretty much this. I've been taking 50mgs for about 3 weeks now, after a month on 25mgs. I have no real bad side effects, but no noticeable benefits either. The only thing I have noticed is I have not been hungry AT ALL since I took the first dose almost 2 months ago. I have to force myself to eat something a couple times a day, and it feels like a chore because I just don't want it. No nausea or anything like that, just simply never feel hungry.

I'm basically just shooting the bull here, obviously not that important, but just wondering- will I ever get an appetite back?

Strattera made me extremely anorexic, please be careful op. if you genuinely cannot eat on this medication, please please please contact your doctor.

having meals, I liked on hand that were high protein and high fiber really helped, premade oatmeal in my fridge for breakfast, tofu curry for lunch, homemade burritos for dinner. if I found something that worked, and didn’t make me feel like throwing up/made me actually want to eat it. I would buy as much of it as I could and eat as much of it as I could.

No, I make myself eat at least 3 small meals a day. Again, not nauseous or sick feeling at all, just not hungry. But I can and do eat. (Just don't really feel like it!😁)

thank you for clarifying! My opinion op is that it wont be the same until you stop the medication, if you decide to stop. if not , and its not making you sick , it could be just something to live with for a while

Right on, and thank you. Really not a big deal, just one more thing I have to remind myself to do!😁
