Has anyone found that taking it in the morning has reduced their appetite? Thank you

    hi, this is a common side effect on starting up (reduced appetite, or increased appetite)

    Definitely did for me as does fluoxetene that I'm on now, I've barely eaten for 4 days and no hunger pains, as I'm 6ft and 15 stone this can't be right.

    Hi there,

    I find I'm ok if I eat as soon as I take the pill so it hasn't yet had time to take effect. The morning nausea has definitely improved now I'm nearly at the end of two weeks smile

    I suppose a little bit but I think the anxiety makes that happen!! I find when I eat I feel better.
