It is defiantly anxiety. I lost 18lb in just short of a month. I don't have health anxiety so the weight loss was only a worry to me because it was so rapid,not because I thought it was anything else. I can promise you now,if you have been diagnosed with anxiety,then that is the reason for your weight loss xxx. Do depression/anxiety medications normally cause weight loss? I have been on Lexapro 20mg for about 5 months now. I am 5'3 1/2, I went from 112 to 102lbs. Last appointment I had with the doctor I weighed 104lbs and she told me to eat a little more. I have been eating more but I can't gain any weight!
Prozac for anxiety and weight loss
My doctor prescribed me Prozac for anxiety and weight loss. I have already been in antidepressants before and I am not a big fan. But I am suffering from a lot of anxiety lately. I have a hard time breathing most of the day and a couple of times a day I start to shake and sweat and feel like if I don’t eat I could die. Therefore I gained weight. But I am scared of Prozac and of any antidepressants, (I took Pristiq for a year or so and I am still struggling with the sexual side effects) my doctor told me it will be a month only. Should I take the risk?
