Medication and reduced appetite

Is anyone else really struggling to eat on their ADHD meds? It’s got to the point where i physically cannot eat, I’m almost repulsed by food, it’s like my body is rejecting it. It’s causing me to lose weight and feel unwell; dizziness, nausea, shaking, blurred vision, headaches and extreme fatigue. It’s getting me so down 😭

I'd suggest talking to your doctor about a different dose or different medication. I understand wanting to take the medication if it's beneficial for your ADHD symptoms but if it's making you feel so unwell then it's probably time to re-evaluate. Good luck, it can be difficult finding the right meds and dose

Thanks Emma! For an appointment with them but not for 2 weeks 🙄 I am speaking with a clinician from my adhd team tomorrow so hoping they can help too 👍🏼 x

@Abbie maybe try and maximise the calories and nutrition when you can manage to eat I found that helped me
