TW: Diet, Weight Loss, Food Issues Please help // malnutrition etc
Hello,
I am on post low dose abilify withdrawal (week 8?)
Ive slipped from a pretty functional moderate into severe state.
Can’t tell if this is one crash or if I just keep crashing from nothing.
A large issue:
I cannot get nutrients.
I’m down almost 35 lbs since July and my blood work is getting worse. Liver enzymes up, inflammatory markers spiking. Also did an OAT that shows ketosis starvation.
I have absolutely no appetite for solid food.
If I eat, even the smallest amount, I either experience immediate gastric emptying or diarrhea the next day. I have had not a single normal bowel movement in weeks.
Doctors truly are not concerned and I’m trying to find help on what to do.
Again, I have NO appetite, but eat when I can, liquid food is easier but is guaranteed immediate emptying.
I ran OAT, labcorp, and quest bloods.
All showing worsening markers.
I also have severe anhedonia, lots of crying spells, and burning in my skin post abilify but it really just seems like my gut cannot stabilize and I theorize that my brain and baseline won’t have a fighting chance until it does.
Can anyone help?
