Did your appetite return?

I have been taking generic atomoxetine at 40mg for 2 months. I'm due to titrate up to 60mg in a few days.

My appetite decreased really soon after taking it. It came back a little bit, but I'm still really struggling to not lose weight. This isn't good for me as I'm already really slim. I also have digestive issues, so eating too much high fat food makes me feel unwell. That's not usually an issue as I'm able to eat enough to maintain my weight (usually 110-113lb, I'm 5ft 4).

I think I'm feeling more emotionally regulated than I was before, so I'd rather not quit the medication. But I can't afford to lose any more weight.

If your appetite decreased, did it ever return to normal? If so, how long did that take? Thanks

Employers - your employees are smuggling tampons/ pads to the toilet when they're on their period, you need to do better.

Women shouldn't need to worry about how they're going to carry their sanitary products to the toilet without it being obvious - especially taking into account that women's clothing tends to have way fewer pockets than men's.

They also shouldn't need to scramble to find sanitary products if their period comes early, or if they forget to bring products with them.

Imagine if toilet paper was not provided in toilets, and if every time you went for a shit, you needed to carry your own paper to the toilet with you.

Edit: I really didn't expect this to be such a contentious issue.

To clarify, obviously women shouldn't feel ashamed of having a periods and there shouldn't be any stigma. But the fact remains that some may feel undignified needing to whip out a sanitary product at their desk or in meeting.

I know that a lot of men in offices would feel a similar way if every time they went for a shit, they needed to carry their toilet paper wuth them in their hand, and you can't convince me otherwise. Imagine being in an important meeting, realising that you unexpectedly need to evacuate your bowels and excusing yourself. Now imagine if the bathroom had no toilet paper, so you had to carry out a roll of toilet paper with you. Or try to find some if you forgot yours.

And obviously you could take a small bag to work with those things in - of course. But the fact remains that you could still be caught out but forgetting it or just not having it with you at every moment of the day. Having products in the bathroom would solve the issue.

I stand by what I said. Sanitary products should be available in all workplace bathrooms.
