Does xanax cause weight loss?

Weight loss can sometimes happen if the medication makes you feel slightly nauseous or if you forget to eat due to extra sleepiness. Please make sure you are still eating nutritious, home-cooked vegetarian meals at proper times. Don't skip meals even if you don't feel very hungry.
