Hi.

Lorazepam (Ativan) has not been known for any weight changes.

You may consider if you have any appetite loss, thyroid dysfunction or a possible depression. I am not sure, but if you have depressive features along with the anxiety, you may be eating less.

Hope you fight off this phase of your life successfully. Every difficult situation brings out a new aspect of our personality. And it helps us grow.

Wish you luck.
