Anyone else like this?  do I just put the food into my mouth and force myself to swallow it?  I cook mainly chicken but then just don't want to eat it, I suppose I manage a few pieces on a fork with some mashed potato, in the mornings I swallow (don't want) some cornflakes in milk.

    I was on 150 mgs of Amitriptyline for 5 years and quit cold turkey. I have zero appetite. I taste food but get no pleasure from it and can never know when I'm full.
