I have been the same way for years. I can go all day just eating once. My parents have to force me to eat. On days I give my friends a helping hand they’ll always bring me lunch. After I eat I always text my mom saying I already ate, no dinner. So I’m never hungry either. We believe it’s the medication stealing my appetite.

I was on a medication,in my past that had a side effect of making me lose wieght. Another medication made me not feel hungry.

Ever since I started taking Xcopri and depakote along with the other two meds I was already taking, I haven’t felt hungry. But I have felt sleepy almost every day with the drowsiness that came with Xcopri and depakote.

How are you feeling? Depression? Stress? How are your bowels?
Sorry 😞 to bring these issues up, but besides meds there is other ways that you could be losing weight.
Maybe talk to your doctor

It depends on the side effects of the medications you are taking. Some will have side effects such as loss of appetite. I have had that happen when i was taking a medication with loss of appetite and nausea.
