I too have been in this situation. I sometimes feel as though part of my diet is liquid, part forced down, whatever. during the day. at night, i get hungry, and i can usually stomach solid foods. i thought you had mentioned in a post that you were on 300 mg. of Wellbutrin. When I upped my WB to 200 mg., my appetite decreased. When it was upped to 300, it decreased even more. could be the source. of course, it could be the desoxyn, or the combo, which is most likely the case. i know it really brings the suck when you are out with friends and they want to get dinner & they ask you what you're in the mood for & you just throw your hands up like, "whatever, i don't care, it doesn't matter" while you rack your brain in desperation trying to think of something you could possibly picture yourself actually consuming. the suck also comes with not recognizing normal hunger patterns correctly, because then energy drops significantly until you do obtain some nourishment. these days, i eat whatever i want to eat--that is, whatever i think i can stomach in solid form at the given time!
Best,
L.
> I've lived for like 2 years dealing with it, but today I couldn't eat a single thing. I'm sick of this-- I'm going to sleep soon, and I know I'll be starving and by then it'll be too late, nothing open to eat out from.

> What meds will increase my appetite without making me sleepy? Straterra? Abilify? Anything?? There's got to be something that will work. I've got soc. anx. disorder, add and narcolepsy. I tried Seroquel once for soc. anxiety, and it let me feel hungry at meal times. I didn't like it though, so I stopped taking it.
