Haha yes, they make you forget to eat because you are so focused! Jokes apart, it is a very common side effect. Just make sure you dont disappear completely, keep some snacks nearby!

In my long life, I have seen many family members take various treatments. It is quite common to lose weight initially, but the body eventually finds its balance. Don't worry, just eat nutritious food.

Yes, they suppress appetite. If your doctor allows, try light strength training or walking daily to build your appetite back naturally so you don't lose muscle mass.

From what I see daily, stimulants definitely reduce appetite and can cause weight loss. It is a known side effect, so just make sure to monitor it and let your doctor know if it goes too fast.
