When I was hit with anxiety I lost more weight than you have in a short space of time even though I was eating. It stabilised for several months. I could fit into clothes I hadn't been able to for three years.

From a low of 165 lbs I'm back up to 180 lbs (I was probably about 190 lbs this time last year) and I'm trying to figure out how to induce a spell of anxiety again [8D]

Forrest,

I got down to 89 lbs. but I'm on 5'1" tall but that was still way too skinny the doctors told me. The lexapro should help you start feeling better and you should start gaining some weight back. I wouldn't worry about it though, just another thing to worry about. Don't skip any meals and if you want to drink some supplements to help gain weight betwen meals. That is what they made me do.
