Food and Anxiety

Posted by Greg A. on June 29, 2001, at 16:37:35

Does anyone experience a marked increase in anxiety symptoms following meals? I am currently being treated for depression with Remeron, Prozac and Wellbutrin. My depression has a major anxiety component to it. The treatment has been pretty effective so far (6 months) but almost daily I seem to have this post-lunch increase in anxiety. Mornings go along pretty well most days and then right after I eat I start to feel tension in my chest, my breathing is shallower, and I have the usual ‘fight or flight’ symptoms. Sometimes this subsides in a couple of hours but often it persists through into the evening. There is nothing I do after lunch that would account for this. I skipped lunches for several months and this helped, but lately I notice the symptoms even if I have a couple of glasses of water. I have thought of changing the timing of my meds. but I hate to screw up what seems to be working for depression. I can certainly do without the afternoon agitation though so if anyone has any theories or advice I’d like to hear it.

Thanks, Greg A.
