It’s been 3 weeks since I started back on Zoloft, and the initial side effects are definitely fading. I feel like drugs are starting kick in already, but that might just be because the moodiness that made me want to stab everyone in the face is almost gone. Still, historically I tend to start feeling some results in 2-4 weeks, the warm weather is making me happy, and so I’m not going to question it much.
Eating is still hard, really really hard. I’ve lost 12 pounds since starting back on Zoloft and it sure as hell isn’t on purpose. Tuesday evening I realized the only thing I’d ingested the day before was 3 cups of coffee, and that I’d only had a cup of tea that day so far. (I am drinking plenty of water, not to worry.) So, the “not hungry, eating is weirdly unpleasant” side effect seems to be WAY worse this time around, and that sucks. I love food, cooking and eating out with friends, it’s one of my great joys in life. I miss food so much, but even my favorite foods taste wrong or different or something. EVEN CADBURY CREAM EGGS. EVEN BACON. EVEN KALE. That’s just wrong.
If anyone has advice on eating when you really really really have no appetite and food tastes weird, I’d totally appreciate it. I’m not averse to dropping a little weight but I’m pretty sure that the whole “calories, vitamins, and minerals are necessary for life” thing still holds true. I’ve got a doc appt on Monday so hopefully co can shed a little light on the subject or tell me to stop being so batty and move on with my day.
