Q: Weight Loss is it normal?

I am very concerened with my weight right now and was wondering if the dramatic loss could be do to the stadol nasal that I'm taking as an aboritive right now or from the phenagrin for the nausea and vomiting.  I am 5'5" and 100 lbs. and starting to get worried these are the only new meds they have put me on that is why I was wondering if it could be one of them.

Unless you're taking these medications daily, which you shouldn't be, it's unlikely that either of them would contribute to weight loss.

 

Try keeping a diary noting what you eat, how much you drink, and how frequently you're vomiting, then talk to your doctor. Your weight loss could be at least partly from vomiting and not being able to eat when you have a Migraine, from dehydration, or both.
