Depression will do that, its part of the negative features of schizophrenia basically. You'll eat again when you feel better. If you can't stomach food there are always nutritional drinks in hospitals, there are here at least.
Hang in there -- I know its very easy of us to say that, but these medications are powerful and they can take a long time to work.
I really wish they could release you to your family or a trustworthy family friend who can monitor you so you can experience the outside world, be compliant (I'm not trying to say you wouldn't be, its just probably one reason they keep people in hospitals) and let the medications take their time -- they do take many months to give you a benefit.
-- best wishes
