Unwanted weight loss on citalopram

Hello - I have posted here before about citalopram and reflux/indigestion/nausea (still an issue for me but appears to have lessened a little, thank god).

I am taking the medication for anxiety and depression and, three months in, I think it is helping me - I am certainly out of the "can't see the wood for the trees" spiral of anxiety. But in the months leading up to taking it, I lost a few pounds - not significant, really, but not really needed. Now I am still losing weight at around a pound a month, despite eating well and changing nothing with regards to exercise. The weight has gone from my boobs and backside, not, sadly, from my tummy, and a couple of friends have commented on it - face looking thinner, too.

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if it tapered off...I don't want to lose any more. Would be really grateful for any input - thanks in advance.

No input other than I've lost a stone going on citalipram (see other thread). I just don't have the appetite I used to (I used to eat LOADS). I'm assured it will come back, but for the moment I hate the way I look. The only good thing is my cellulite has gone (but so have my boobs too Sad)
