Folic Acid tablets - loss of appetite

4 replies

Not really an AIBU but posting for traffic.

Following a recent routine blood test where it was discovered that my folate level is low, I have been prescribed 5mg Folic Acid tablets, one a day.

It's been around a month since I started taking the tablets and have noticed over the last couple of weeks that I have little to no appetite. I don't feel like eating and am not particularly hungry. I don't know if this is because of the folic acid but am presuming that it is. Not lost any weight though.

Has anyone else experienced appetite loss with folic acid?

More likely to be a symptom of the deficiency. Folic acid doesn't generally have a negative impact on appetite

Thanks @OneTC - before taking folic acid I had a huge appetite, so interesting that now I'm taking it and hopefully getting my folate levels up I don't much of an appetite.
