Does it count?

[finding.my.wings]

Recently (a week ago) i started on new meds which has caused both dry mouth whihc makes eating difficult and lack of appetite and desire to eat. It feels like a relapse as im not trying to eat but the weight loss is only the fake weight and as soon as i eat again it comes right back. So my question albeit rather stupid is does it count as relapse and worth worrying about?

For me that's a hard question to answer. Id say no if it is truthfully the new meds then give them a while longer to work and get used to them. But If you are using the new med as an excuse then yes it is a slip up. You need to be speaking to your care provider either way to prevent you from having a slip up. Medication is there to help you , not hold you back. Try eating little but often til the med doesn't effect you so harshly X

It doesnt sound like a true relapse but it does sound like it is worrying you and therefore worth bothering about to make sure it doesn't lead to a relapse.

The medication is helping and i am grateful for that. I looked up the side effects and found that no appetite is one of them, so it makes sense that it would be the medications.

Ive learnt that i have a wise mind which knows right from wrong, good form bad etc... and wise mind suggests i should tell my doctors about the side effect and the fact that it makes it very easy for me to not eat what i should. However the un-wise mind- the destructive side its telling me that this is fine and that since ive lost a little im feeling better, that everything is more sorted and easy to deal with, that generally this is good.
