Does anyone else take medications that make it hard to fast on?

I am on some pretty big medications like antidepressants and mood stabilizers. The bottles say I do need to eat with them and I have missed times where I did not eat. I get very sick. Does anyone make exceptions for these times? I take some morning and night. It helps me a lot mentally to take them at the same time each day so maybe I can coordinate that way.

Answer

Maybe you can adjust your eating schedule to to fit around your medications. I’m also on antidepressants, but taking mine on an empty stomach has been okay. I don’t think mine requires me to eat though.

Answer

You should consult a doctor. But my general rule is “mind over body”. Protect the mind and the body will follow, or not, but at least you have your mind. I take this measure with mental health drugs and also just mental health days. Sometimes I fast from fasting.

My heart medicine says to take with food… I said screw it and tried without. The first few times I got a little bit nauseous, but if I drink enough water beforehand I don’t have any issues.

Definitely check with your doc first though. I asked my Wife and MIL who are an ER nurse and Cardiac nurse
