I'm curious- approximately how long were you taking Benzos? The reason I ask is that although most people DO lose weight on anti-anxiety and/or anti-depression meds, just wondering,

Julz, I really don't remember exact timeframes involved. I know I was on Prozac for a bit which gave me diarrhea and I lost tons of weight and my doc gave me something to counteract that (?) but then I was cocktailing xanax, klonopin, valium at the same time and soon I was smaller than ever. I liked it tho!!! It was probably over a six month or less period that I lost all the weight. I never ate anything, just little means with the family at night and Soda all day with my med cocktails.

I am much rehabed now thanks to a car accident that nearly killed me but i am still in constant pain and resorting to OPs since the docs here don't feel I need any pain relief. Wish they walked in my shoes.....
