It sounds like it is not the antidepressant causing the weight loss but your not eating enough. You have to eat at least 1200 calories a day or your body will go into "starvation" mode; I would get to my therapist to get over the anxiety of putting off seeing her and would also see about getting a dietitian or nutritionist to help with eating more so you get to a better weight. Tell your doctor about food you use to enjoy eating not tasting right (if that's the case; if you never liked oatmeal or pop tarts then no loss :-) and see if there is an interaction with any of the medicines you are taking. When I got home from the hospital my poor husband had to change my bed sheets three times because the medicines were throwing off my sense of smell!
