Meds often have an effect on my appetite. I'm currently taking Risperidone and Latuda. Latuda does not effect my appetite. Risperidone has me craving sweets and eating like a maniac. The lower my dose of RISPERIDONE goes, the lower my appetite. Last month I was manic and couldn't eat, even when I wanted to. I try to remember to stay hydrated but even forget about that. My appetite is all over the place whether I'm on meds, or off. Usually I'm an eat to live kinda person. Sometimes I'm a live to eat. I'm a walking contradiction I tell ya.
