Something’s Wrong
I feel like something is wrong and am wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or any idea of what could be going on. I’m afraid I might have possible gastroparesis or wondering if it’s just anxiety related.
I’ve been at 2.5 mg twice a week for about 3-4 weeks now. Since upping to that it has been hard to get my calories in and I’ve been losing about three pounds a week. If was starting to make me feel malnourished and extremely fatigued, so I thought it would be time to start lowering my dose. I just took a 2 mg dose three days ago and have since not been able to eat. I’m going on day three with extreme nausea and not being able to eat without feeling like I’ll vomit. Last night I almost threw up while brushing my teeth. Even drinking water is hard. I keep getting the feeling I need to have a bowel movement or pass gas, and when I do nothing happens or the smallest piece comes out. Last night I started experiencing acid reflux.
I’m struggling with wondering if it’s gastroparesis or some other issue, or just nerves. The same day I took my dose, I found out some traumatic information about my mother and I’m moving across the country in the three days. Because of it all I had an anxiety attack too. Before Reta I would typically binge eat when I’m sad or stressed and now I can’t get anything down. I’ve tried pepto bismal and that didn’t work either. Not being able to to eat is currently adding to the anxiety.
