Brief Answer:
NO!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Lorazepam is not known to cause loss of appetite or weightless. I will suggest you go with a single medication at a time rather than stopping all of them. This way we wily identify the cause and avoid withdrawing abruptly that may make your anxiety to worsen.
Keep me updated about your healing. Best wishes.
