What To Do For Loss Of Appetite And Becoming Weak Other Than Taking Xanax?
I just suffered a loss and was given Xanax (.25mg) to help with my nervousness. I took it one day and it made me sleep heavy and hard to get up so the next day I took a 1/2. I still didn't like the feeling so I stopped. I am really having a loss of appetite and am now feeling weak because the thought of food is not appealing. Do you think I should just give the Xanax another try?

hi
i m sorry for ur loss. xanax sure helps to sleep but comes with several side effects one of which is loss of appetite. but its duration of action is only 12 to 24 rs maximum. so loss of appetite you are feeling after not taking the tablet for a day is not due to xanax.
depression itself can cause loss of appetite. i suggest you to unburden your feelings by discussing it with someone.
hope it helps
