Hi hun sorry your going through this so couple things you could try to figure out with your doctor..a time schedule where you could take your medicine where it wouldn't interfere with your eating for example maybe at night, so it won't affect your during the day. Especially if the dose is making you feel better symptom wise that is always good mentally. Another things is see about having a prescribed nausea pill is an option like Zofran or Compazine. Just some ideas hope they help❤️

Usually it lasts all day no matter when I take the pill. A smaller dosage might help but he may just switch me to another medication. I have my next appointment on the 18th so I will definitely bring it up.

It's possible! Prozac is notorious for causing loss of appetite.

Maybe talk to your psychiatrist about lowering your dosage? I was on 20mg and they were able to lower it to 10mg for me since my appetite disappeared

I might have to! I'm on 20 MG now and I need to eat the SECOND I feel hungry otherwise it just turns to nausea.
