I started stimulants recently and the appetite suppression is kicking my ass. I already had a hard time eating enough, so this has made it quite a bit worse. I have found that if it's a liquid I can sip it throughout the day without issue. Do you have any recommendations about fairly healthy and inexpensive recipes or solutions for getting a lot of calories through a liquid? Thanks

    Soup in a thermos is a good one. I also use electrolyte powder in water to help my shitty feelings.

    I'm in a similar spot with stims too. But I have weight to lose so I don't mind the lack of calories, but the electrolytes really helped with feeling better.

      Stims are rough. I'm borderline too think so unfortunately I have to worry a little more about that. I might try the electrolytes!

        Helped me a ton. I'm constantly drinking water but kept feeling dehydrated. If you can get cheap gatorade (powder) it's probably the best, but I don't like the sweetness, so I got a sugar free one but it's just artificial sweetener to the max, so still shopping for a good one.

        Also, know that the stims level out. I'm...4 months in? And there is no real negative side affects anymore. If you bump up your dosage, you will have a day or two of the temp changes and the wiredness, but it is a lot easier than the first time.

        I did miss a day recently and I know a lot of it was withdrawals, but god damn, I had no energy, couldn't keep a thought in my head, and could not complete any task.
