hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
during depression most of patients do not like to eat anything. due to underline anxiety symptoms feel nause and vomiting. Same symptoms u r feeling. In that case u can take tab mirtazapine 7.5mg at night time and gradually increase it dose upto 45mg. It would help u to increase appetite as well as decrease in depressive symptoms. Rest u can discuss with ur treating psychiatrist.
