--- Hi

I'm sorry I don't know the answers to your questions. and

Kim are the experts so I am certain they will know.

Do you feel weird if you liquify the food?? Its just a thought?

Sorry I can't be more helpful

Thinking of you

Love

PS, I vomited for 3 months, 5 times a day when I came off SSRI, so

you have my deepest sympathy!

Dear ,

Eating raises cortisol which raises serotonin.

** AS long as ALL food makes you feel weird, you might as well eat

healthy food. In time, proper nutrients will help. If you eat barely

anything or crap food, you will get worse.

has a great point here, . Your body needs food (among

other things) in order to heal.

It is quite possible that all food makes you feel weird right now,

because of the way food affects body chemistry, but since you really

do have to eat, you should focus on eating good things.

Supplements will also make a difference, although they may not feel so

great at first either. Sometimes, when someone's body is so damaged

by these drugs, it takes some time before they can begin to feel

better. The good news is that everyone CAN feel better.

Warmly,

Kim
