Just curious how everyones appetite is while they are in a manic stage?

I loose weight,skip lots of meals.

When manic, it's totally classic not to eat much of anything.
I lost 80#s during my worst mania. I ate every few days and only water based soups. Drank a ton of water. Lost all 80#s in a couple of months while manic.

I found out the very real difference between mania and anxiety yesterday.
When manic, I also forget to eat, but yesterday, I ate about a ton of crap. (at least it was sugar-free crap)
Anxious. went out and ordered a hardwood floor for the rest of our downstairs.

I don't eat because I can't keep track of time and usually have no appetite anyway. If you lose weight try seroquel. I gained 20 pounds in 3 months. Lost it in a month after going off.
#2 80#'s OMG!
