medication side-effects

So it's really annoying that to avoid hunger you can't just eat every now and then, you have to keep eating. I get this hunger pain and it just seems totally gratuitous, cause I'm like, dammit, I ate yesterday! What do you want from me?

This isn't natural. It's the lovely world of SSRIs. Now I'm off to chug lukewarm mint tea until my hunger pang-induced nausea calms down enough for me to eat something!

No, you're right, it's not natural, and it's something I suffer from too. Hey, I just ate this morning! Why do I want food again at 10pm?! ...And yet I ignore it half the time. Somehow being on this drug makes me not really interested in the eating thing even though I love food and I do get hungry.

Actually I've taken myself off it; I haven't had any for about three weeks, and usually when I forget for a while one of the side effects is OMG I WANT FOOD NOW.

Oh, and I wanted to say: That is a LOVELY icon.
