extreme weight loss

Good morning everyone... Just thought i would ask if anyone is on an antidepresstion drug for the crohns?  I recently started Celexa and at first made me feel alittle better but i had lost 42 pounds while on it.  I really dont know if it is the drug or the crohns?

I have taken anti-anxiety meds before.  Usually, these types of meds make you GAIN weight, not lose weight.  Read the info packet that comes with the presciption.  If weight LOSS is not a side effect, you may want to talk to your dr about your weight loss.  42 pounds is lot to lose at one time.  I would go through bouts of sever weight loss.  They usually put me on steroids, and that is no fun.  But, it will help you keep the weight on.
