I also had the same thing... they started me on Prozac in the hospital. I hadn't eaten for several days before going in, and when I was in the hospital, the relief that I was taking action to help myself allowed me to begin eating again. After a few days in the hospital though my appetite when down markedly, I'm sure because of the Prozac. It gave me some nausea, ususally very very slight, not enough to be annoying but enough to keep me from eating well. The nausea went down over the course of a few days though.

Just keep your doctor well informed. It is worth putting in a call to him if you are not eating rather than waiting for your next appt.

Also if you can try to force yourself to eat something when you take the meds it might help a lot. Even a few crackers, something absorbent, in your stomach will have a great effect as compared to taking them on an empty stomach.

Good luck...
