Hungry but no appetite?

Anyone else? I'm on a SRI if that helps at all.

How can you be hungry if you have no appetite? And what's an SRI?

Do you mean your stomach is growling but nothing "sounds" good? I have no idea what an SRI is. Eat something you know is a good mix of carbs/protein if you're truly hungry. Or have a glass of water and wait until you know what you want.

Antidepressant and that's exactly what I feel like.

I felt that way when I was newly pregnant. Just getting *something* in my stomach so the gnawing pit feeling stopped was key. I kept graham crackers and whipped cream cheese around for this purpose. Also, plain potato chips.

Once I had some calories tumbling around, I could better focus on what I actually wanted to eat next. Take the edge off with a healthy snack--apple and peanut butter?--and go from there.

My go-to something is pb on toast. Then I can decide if I want sweet or savory.

When my mouth is bored, my latest go-to is almonds and/or dark chocolate because they fill me up quickly and they're kind of good for you.

It used to be Cap'n Crunch and ice cream, so I'm calling this progress.

I was wondering if your brain was confusing hunger and indigestion...mine does. But with SRIs I agree that getting something in your tummy might trigger your appetite...appetizer...

I've been through that with an antidepressant I was on for 8 months. I had no appetite, and when I did eat, just a little bit would make me feel uncomfortably full. I ended up losing a lot of weight, down to 90 lbs. I lost all my muscle. As a result, I had to discontinue it. I just couldn't consume enough calories each day and wasn't eating healthy foods.
