i have never been skinny, ever since i was little i was medium build. i was about 140 pounds (and 5'1...a lil chubby) when i was 16, then i was put on anti psychotics and went up to 210 pounds. i stayed at that weight for about a year and a half, then it just started to go away slowly but surely. The lowest i got after that was to about 145-150 and my weight pretty much just stayed there untill this year. but all of a sudden i am losing weight very quickly and its kind of scary. i was 140 not quite 2 weeks ago. now I weight 124 pounds. i cant eat really, food isnt very appealing to me and i dont know why. what do you think could be causing this? i dont want to loose too much weight,,,i mean, my hip bones are starting to stick out already (i have big hips) and thats bad enough. could there be something wrong with my stomach? also, i havnt been able to go to the bathroom (bowl movement) that much lately either. what can be causing this? sorry if i didnt make much sence, i'm half awake.

Wow. This reminds me of the problem that I used to have not too long ago. I lost like 20 pounds in like a month or so. I didn't eat enough and whenever I did eat, my stomach would HURT like crazy. When I decided to go to the Doctor, She found out I had a Bacteria in my stomach that was eating all my nutrients and destroying my stomach. I was so surprised to hear that! after the medication that she gave me to kill the Bacteria, I started gaining the weight back right away. I really recommend you to go see a Gastroenterologist to see if you have the same problem. A lot of people in this country have this Bacteria and they don't even know it. That's really scary! !
Good Luck!

That happened to me, no matter what I ate could not gain. finally I was diagnosed with tuberculosis of the lung. Once that was treated I went back to my regular weight. As a nurse I can say unexplained weight loss is a reason to get to a good doctor....and not wait.

Maybe you have a parasitic worm... Whatever the problem is, I would go to the doctor immediately and have it checked out because that rapid of weight loss is really unhealthy.

It is possible that another perscription is causing these problems. Some drugs that work on your mental state can effect appetite. Go and get checked out just to be safe.

You need to make an appointment RIGHT NOW to your primary care doctor.
Sometimes tumors, God forbid, cancer as well. I had a friend that did that and it was curable. Do not DALLY!... go to the doctor. Not a computer.

Sounds serious like you may have a bowel problem. See a doctor quick. You don't want to have one of the bags hooked up because you can move your bowels. Please go to the ER now.
