Does anyone else seem to be losing weight with Anxiety...even when you are eating properly. Does anyone know why this is? Does not make any sense to me.

Thank You

Often when we are in an almost constant state of anxiety & fear our bodily functions speed up...bowel movements, frequency of urination and how quickly we burn off food, so we use more energy. Also, certain meds can contribute to weight loss too, just as some can contribute to weight gain. Some blood pressure meds can release water which might show up on the scales as lost weight.

Thank You- I am just on citalopram but having issues with my stomach too such as loose stools and going to the toilet more...which makes me think there is something serious wrong with me when losing weight too :(
