Avatar f tn I know a lot of people that have went through a major move, job loss, or divorce and it has caused them a lot of anxiety symptoms that they can not handle. In my case I have taken Celexa 2 times in the past and after a month or so it helps. I wish I didn't need medication, but without I don't how long I would have lost my appetite and not slept well.
Avatar m tn Loss of appetite is often a symptom of depression. Are you on any anti depressant medication? Some medications can cause loss of appetite and some can increase appetite. If yours is not connected to medication, then you may find that you may get your appetite back. I don't think we are able to tell you definitely if you will get your appetite back. Have you asked your doctor?

941766 tn?1257796601 Anxeity and depression affect us in different ways, but when I was confronting it, I too had initially lost my appetite and had a hard time sleeping at night. This can really take a toll on us emotionally and it is sometimes a hard thing to confront. For me, I focused on the long term progress that I made. Don't forget to give yourself credit for what you have already accomplished...the fact that you are being proactive and making progress is great...
Avatar f tn These are classic symptoms of depression, see a psychiatrist and go from there. There's lots of help for this, you can get your life back!
Avatar m tn Anxiety can cause a loss of appetite, but when you actually begin to lose weight and must force yourself to eat, it's time to see your doctor. Which you will be doing tomorrow and can discuss all your concerns with him at that time. You didn't mention if you were on any medication for your anxiety, but some of the benzos and AD's out there do cause loss of appetite and weight. If you ARE on meds, a simple change may be all that is required to fix this.

Avatar m tn Most people with Bi Polar, enjoy this part of the disorder, and the downside usually comes with the extreme crash at the end, where they delve into extreme lows, depression, feelings of nothingness and numbness. The low part of the mood, also has symptoms of depression, such as suicidal thoughts, anger, no appetite, or increased appetite, insomnia, inability to care for self, ect. These periods can last for up to minutes, to hours, to many months each.
Avatar f tn t a big problem in and of itself (yet), but I would give just about anything to be able to enjoy food again. My theory of the cause of this loss of appetite is a loss of some sensation in the tongue. Fingers are numb, toes are numb, tongue is numb, too.

Avatar m tn Yes, we all know that loss of appetite can mean sinister things but as you said you have no other symptoms, no fatigue etc. There are so many more things that statistically it's more likely to be and its very unlikely that it's anything sinister really. The more you worry yourself about it the worse it might get. Why not visit the doctor if only to put your mind at rest.
Avatar m tn Hello, I hear that you are struggling to eat as a result of loss of appetite. This may or may not be related to the medication you are taking. I would recommend sharing this information with the doctor who prescribed these medications for you so that he/she may assess your symptoms and choose the best course of action. Warmly, Dr.
