I have been off colour since coming of two different depressin tabs,in may.I have been picky with my food.I have had depression stress.My partner went away for a week,and I ate very little.When she returned I got weighed.I had dropped from 15st to 14st 6.She got me back on eating,so after two weeks I got weighed,expecting my weight back.I had now gone from 15st to 14st,in just a few weeks,well about 8 weeks.I told my doctor this,and to my surprise,he said leave it another month,and see how your weight goes then.I am still loosing,but the month is not up yet.You can guess my fears.Do you know any illness that can lead to such a loss of weight,besides the dreaded one I am thinking about,any illness at all.Also do you think my doctor was correct in his decision
 
One of the cardinal symptoms of depression is rapid weight gain or loss. You just came off depression meds so maybe your depression is back.

Weight loss with depression is far more common than weight loss with cancer as depression is far more common.

Give it time to see if you can come out of this without going back on meds.
