What Causes Sudden Loss Of Appetite And Aversion To Food?
My daughter is 21 years old in the service and has found herself unable to eat. Food smells bad to her and when she forces herself to eat she gags. She is currently underweight to serve and is having difficulty finding anything appetizing. This has been ongoing for 4 months. She is currently on Prozac and is compliant. This is the first time this has happened to her.
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Prozac is a Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor drug used in treatment of Depression and mood swings. It can cause loss of appetite as a side effect. so loss of appetite and aversion to food might be due to prozac drug.
