Wondering if anyone else has this problem. I have always been a "picky' eater, but seems ever since I started on some of my newer medications, like Bipolar etc, I have no want for food at all. I do drink plenty nutritional drinks and that is about it. Can this decrease ones want for food?

Also, I was holding at around 134lbs and now staying at 116!

When I diet too hard I lose my appetite as well. Once you start eating a little more, your appetite will go back to normal, but you have to eat.
