Can anxiety medicine cause weight loss?

Look, different psychiatric medicines react differently on everyone's body. Some make you put on weight, while others might suppress your appetite and cause weight loss. Don't start self-adjusting the dose because you are losing weight. Go directly to the psychiatrist who prescribed it and tell them.

I completely understand how stressful it is when your weight starts dropping like this. When my medication made me lose my appetite, I started having small cups of warm ginger tea and chewing on fennel seeds to help my digestion. But please make sure to let your doctor know about this change during your next visit.

Actually, I just started taking a mild pill for my panic attacks last week, and I have also been feeling very less hungry lately. Is this weight loss something temporary that stops after a few weeks, or should I be worried and call my doctor right away?

I had severe nausea and lost a lot of weight when I started my first anxiety medication, which turned out to be a bad reaction. Don't just sit and wait for it to get better on its own. Please consult your doctor clearly about these side effects so they can safely adjust or change your prescription.

Some medicines can dry up your mouth or make you feel slightly nauseous, which leads to weight loss. Drinking fresh coconut water and eating fresh fruits can help maintain your energy levels. However, if the weight loss is very rapid or making you feel weak, please see your doctor immediately.

Every medicine has its own way of working on our life energy, dear. Sometimes it temporarily changes our appetite or digestion. Keep a calm mind, eat wholesome meals, and speak to your doctor about this physical change. Take care of yourself and don't worry too much.
