Hi I have been on Matifen patches 100 microgramms now for about four years and slow but sure have had a loss of appetite I'm surviving on glasses of milk it's now early Friday morning an I've had nothing to eat since last Saturday when I had a ham roll whilst at a wedding.

Hi and thank you so much for this query,

I am so sorry to hear about this loss of appetite that you have reported. I will like to know if you have had any weight loss or signs of mineral or vitamin deficiency. Matifen is not known to cause loss of appetite to this extreme. I think your eating habit may be responsible for this because I find it difficult to believe you have not eaten in a week. Maybe you have to write short notes of everything that enters your mouth. I will suggest you stop all snacks and only get well plan and structured favorite meals. Try to eat what you really love and have not eaten in ages. Should this persist, please seek immediate consultation.

I hope it helps and wish you both well.
Thanks and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications.
