Hi there ~
I understand your concerns. Weight loss - due to reduced appetite, tingling sensation - due to neuropathy, etc, are all the side effects of taking marijuana. I believe that you may need to consult a psychiatrist to go off of the medications and get symptomatic treatment for withdrawals. Consult a psychiatrist might also help determine if you need rehabilitation to help with the withdrawal and recover process.
I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
