Anyone have trouble eating and are losing weight? I’ve lost 25 lbs in a few months and have trouble eating when I’m not feeling well.

Paxil — 20 mg — 20 years. Went off now back on — holding
Trazadone 25 mg
Buspar 5 mg two times a day
Ativan .25 at night

Yes, I had horrible nausea and loss of appetite early on in my taper. Have also had it off and on the whole way. There is an article in the resources regarding this ( sorry, don’t know how to attach it to my response ). I managed by drinking bone broth, eating crackers and toast when I could and staying hydrated with electrolytes when I couldn’t eat at all. It did stabilize and my weight has remained consistent over the past few months

Prozac — 2.4mg — 4 — holding
