Unfortunately for me, I only had the not eating s/e for the first week! I've since gained weight because I now have energy to shop and cook good meals for my family.
For most people, it seems the not eating goes with the first couple of weeks of nausea and anxiety and then it passes. Try to keep something down, be it light soups, fruits, crackers or cereal. You must keep up your strength!
Good luck tonight. Realize that switching from morning to night requires either a gap in medicinal coverage or an "overdose" for 12 hours. You may want to cut the pill in half and take half tonight, half tomorrow morning and then a whole one tomorrow night to get you back on track. Going without can give you as many reactions as getting too much. Let me know how you're feeling! I'll be away from the computer for the next 3 days, but back on Monday.
