Yes, your appetite comes back and you can't get enough to eat once you start. A lot of people have mentioned it. I don't know why.
Maybe our bodies are just wanting something. lol
Thanks Pat! That's reassuring. I hadn't heard about anyone increasing their appetite during withdrawal...only nausea and loss of appetite. From day one I've been like this. I was expecting to be sick to my stomach and vomiting and instead all I wanted was some sorta food to put in my mouth...I've actually gained about 4-5 lbs. lol.
Yeah most of us don't have an appetite during withdrawal, that's for sure.
I can't remember when mine came back but it was probably after a week.
I was starting to enjoy eating again until I went off the Effexor. Now I am back to no appetite and not sleeping. I would love to do more of both :(
I wish everyone the best and my prayers go out to all of you! It is great that this site is available for everyone!
Yes! Tramadol zapped my appetite. I had to force myself to eat that one meal a day. It just felt chalky and tasteless. Now even a sandwich is soooo good! I'm more into cooking, too. Bon apetit!
I'm on the too-skinny side too this is good all around :)
Well I can't get any sleep but nobody's gonna stop me from eating. Lol. I just ate a banana...the whole thing. I usually can only eat about half of one before the texture of it starts gagging me. Literally. I'm funny like that I guess. Right now it's 3am..about two hours ago I ate a piece of chocolate cake...and at 9 I ate 3 pieces of pizza...so imagine what I ate all day...my day usually starts at 5:20am.....
