I find whenever hypomania or mania hits me, I suddenly don't have much appetite. It doesn't even have to do with my past with an eating disorder. I just don't eat much, am not hungry, find it a pain to stop for meals and just keep going & going on little food. This isn't good as I actually am experiencing hypomania right now and need to gain some weight to get back to a low-normal weight for my height. I skipped breakfast this morning without even noticing and had to force myself to stop for lunch. Luckily, I have seen the pdoc today, and we are going to try to get my sleep & anxiety under control as well as up the Lamictal and maybe change the dosage of the Seroquel I take at my appointment with him next week. I find it odd, too, because I just feel like I burn more calories when manic, yet I eat less and don't even notice it.

What is your experience with appetite during mania/hypomania? Do you eat more, less, or the same?
