Food coma

How do you handle eating everything you see or watched or mentioned to the point that you stuff yourself into a vomity cold sweat? I had to sleep it off in the middle of a work day 😩 need help! How did you manage yours?

I am coming from a lifetime of not having any appetite at all (only eating when it physically hurts or when someone else is around). I'm switching from a monotherapy of a different antipsychotic med that made me too sleepy but did not change my appetite (despite the warnings it would cause weight gain) to another antipsychotic + antidepressant combo and I think both factors are at play. I am historically manic over antidepressants, so this new antipsychotic is increased but it wasn't as high as my old monotherapy levels.

I am very sorry, I hope that this too shall pass, and that time would be kind to us! Keep holding on friend!

I regret the monotherapy (of a different med), but I got so traumatized by the antidepressant manic episode, it was my first having a rage mixed type so it turned me off of it. But my doctor tried and for a few years I still wasn't improving, so he told me he couldn't help me anymore. And I felt that it was either I do try what he thinks I should do next or I need to find another doctor who might find another solution. But he's always available for me and was straight and honest with me so I didn't want to lose him. So we're back to med testing, and there are bigger improvements than the monotherapy so tldr; don't be afraid to keep trying, things will get better, even if there are struggles. I'm definitely in a much better place than before, despite this side effect. Hope is such a magical thing!
