Meds can be a huge factor in weight loss. I ended up dealing with anorexia when I was on prozac then wellbutrin. Stress in the first place always made me loose weight & then the added meds & the fact that I really didn't care about living....my weight got so low, I kept ending up in the hospital having to have a central line & IV nutrition because of the anemia & passing out that kept happening. Landed in an eating disorders treatment center which really didn't help because that wasn't really where I was coming from with the problem. My weight loss ended up very low, but then I am much smaller than you to start with.....being only 5'1"ish & started at a healthy lower weight when I was working & playing racquettball every day.

If your meds are working, then I would say, it's a lot easier to eat more to compensate for the weight loss than when you are on meds that cause weight gain even when only eating a small amount to start with.

It's important to have your medical Dr make sure that nothing is out of whack that might be caused by the meds either....if you have more than just the meds causing the weight loss, then it's important to make changes there.

Pre-natal vits are the best because they are mfg'ed with better quality vitamines.....so my Dr told me when other vitamines I took made me so sick. When I graduated from college, started my career, & had just had my daughter, my Mother thought she would do me a favor & buy me vitamines to take. I would take them & end up so sick by noon, & I knew it wasn't morning sickness.....so it had to be the vits.....that was when my doc told me that the pre-natal vits were better made because the ones I took never bothered me when I was pregnant.

Water is important to be constantly drinking. When I got really stressed 6 years ago, I was so sick, I couldn't even keep water down let alone food.....it wasn't meds that time that caused the weight loss, but going through a trauma & all the stress involved trying to deal with my mother dying of cancer. Landed in the hospital for about a month again & because of the anemia, ended up having to have a central line & IV nutrition because I couldn't eat or drink without getting really sick....so I couldn't even force food down.

If you really have no problem eating.....then it's just a good idea to up your calories & eat more food to counter the effects of the meds......while getting your Dr to make sure there is nothing else that is causing the weight loss.

Wow, how many people would love to have the problem of having to eat & having to gain some weight while being ok with it. I have to admit that I have a touch of the anorexia thing going on because I also don't want to gain much weight & there is a certain lower weight that I really feel better at even though I have gained a bit over that now.....& I will end up not eating for days....sometimes because I just don't want to bother cooking & don't have the money to go out to eat....sometimes because I don't think about eating until I get really hungry which doesn't happen all that often. Eating one meal a day isn't healthy & really doesn't provide the amount of calories needed to gain enough weight to be at a safe weight. It really takes at least 2 well balanced meals a day & 3 meals a day is really the only way to get yourself to the healthy weight for your height. Eating junk food can cause weight gain (I was eating oatmeal cookies when I was at a really low weight as they were the only bland food I could tolerate).....but it's not a healthy weight gain.....much better to be healthy & gain the weight in a healthy way because the junk food can actually send the weight in the other direction & end up overweight in the long run with mostly eating junk food.

Finding a nutritionist might be very helpful in getting your weight back to a healthy level.

Hoping that you will be able to get this under control.....would really hate for you to end up in the hospital like I ended up......can honestly say....it's NOT a good thing & definitely not a fun vacation getting poked with needles all the time IV fluids & IV nutrition is no way to get healthy.
