Struggling with Nutrition on Concerta

On top of my other meds my Concerta suppresses my appetite- to the point where I physically can’t eat because the idea hurts my stomach- but now I am struggling with nutrition and lack there of. Has anyone tried IV therapy to help get some nutrients and such things? Other thoughts on how to stop adding the constant feeling of being sick with chronic pain- and my Concerta is helpful so I know I don’t want to change meds

Of course consult your doctor first

Get a strain of CBD or marijuana whatever is legal and get a strain known to help appetite 👍

I’m so sorry you’ve been going through this! Maintaining your appetite is super hard with stimulant meds. I’ve faced the same thing too. I take vitamin supplements and blend my foods into smoothies, that way it goes down easier. My breakfast is always blended. I do get how you can’t blend everything but it’s worth a shot for sure.
