Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of excessive weight loss weakness following an addiction to inappropriate intake of laxative I am suggesting that this medication has caused severe dehydration in your body so that is why you are exhibiting the above symptoms

In view of this please see a psychiatric specialist for further clinical evaluation as well as adequate Councelling and drug prescription for the addiction

Meanwhile please stop the intake of the laxative to prevent further complications like fainting attack or Hypovolemic shock

I hope this helps Regards
