Hello, the psychiatrist found me psychosomatic symptoms caused by increasing stress causing lack of appetite, often even vomiting during the meal. Prescribed me Elicee and Sympramol? Are these the right drugs in my case and will they actually help me? I'm already after 2 weeks of forcing one meal a day into myself and I totally fall from exhaustion. In such a situation, it is difficult to wait another two weeks for the effects, and currently I do not see any improvement.

Medications should alleviate the symptoms of anxiety disorders, including somatic symptoms, while their effectiveness can only be assessed after some time. As you have pointed out, sometimes the therapeutic effect may not be immediate and this is an individually variable matter. In the described situation, you can talk to your family doctor about the possibility of getting help in the form of an infusion so that you do not become dehydrated, it may also contain - to a limited extent - ingredients such as glucose or vitamins. It will not replace normal nutrition, but it can temporarily help you "get back on your feet" if you feel "exhausted". The family doctor can also consult you about preparations that can stimulate the appetite: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/brak-apetytu-u-dzieci-i-osob-starszych In pharmacies there are also products from the range of medical nutrition, of different consistency, which help counteract malnutrition if the patient does not eat or is not able to eat larger amounts of a wholesome meal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/zywienie-medyczne-w-walce-z-niedozywieniem If necessary waiting for the effects of therapy with Elicea and Sympramol is unacceptable to you, you can also talk to a psychiatrist about the need to include an additional product. However, I am not in a position to assess whether, in your individual case and on the basis of your medical records, he will assess this as justified. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/skuteczne-sposoby-na-stres
