Does buspirone cause weight loss?

Actually, it doesn't directly cause weight loss, yaar. But what happens is that when your anxiety goes down, you stop emotional eating or stress eating. So automatically your weight might drop a bit, which is actually a good thing.

When the mind is calm, the body naturally returns to its healthy balance. If you are losing weight, it could be your body shedding the heavy burden of chronic anxiety. Just stay positive, eat pure foods, and let the doctor guide you.

I was just prescribed this medicine yesterday and I am a bit scared. Does it cause sudden weight loss or is it very gradual? I already have a very low body weight and don't want to lose any more.

I didn't experience any significant weight loss while on this. Usually, major weight changes point to other lifestyle factors or stress levels. Keep a simple weekly log of your weight and show it to your doctor during your next follow-up.

Beta, any medicine can affect your appetite initially. If you are feeling less hungry and losing weight, try having a small piece of ginger with salt before meals to improve digestion. If it continues, please consult your doctor.

As someone managing PCOS, I monitor my weight very carefully. Buspirone didn't cause any major weight fluctuations for me, but since hormonal issues are tricky, I always advise keeping a record and sharing any changes with your specialist.
