I went to the doctor. I lost 20 pounds or so since I was last there. I was prescribed new medication for the anxiety. I am to come back in 6 weeks as they were concerned about my weight loss and medication check up. They also said the chance of cancer is low at my age (mid 30s) and asked for s family history of it. Which it seems like most family members had it later in life.

Now I’m really worried about my weight. I already lack an appetite during stressful times.

Anyone else have any similar experiences?

What medication are you on? Can you request one that has side effects of weight gain?

I literally have the opposite problem.

It can cause weight gain, but it’s likely not going to work out. I feel really run down on it.
