Is your anxiety high? That will kill appetite. Butterflies in the stomach kill my appetite.  Get to feeling better!

Considerable loss of weight (8-10lb or more) sometimes occurs in withdrawal. This may be due to a rebound effect on appetite, since benzodiazepines have been shown to increase appetite in animals. On the other hand, some people gain weight in withdrawal. In any case, weight changes are not severe enough to worry about and normal weight is soon regained after withdrawal. A few people have difficulty in swallowing food - the throat seems to tighten up especially if eating in company. This is usually a sign of anxiety and is well-known in anxiety states. Practising relaxation, eating alone, taking small well chewed mouthfuls with sips of liquid and not hurrying make things easier and the symptom settles as anxiety levels decline.

The statement above is from the Ashton Manuel. The link below it will direct you to the full description of GI withdrawal symptoms.

 

I have yet to lose any weight, but my appetite was suppressed while I was taking beznos, and through out my taper.

I stopped eating properly for a while but it didn't last. I still have the occasional day when I don't eat well but for the most part, this has gone. Even when I was struggling, I still forced down cereal, yoghurt, bananas, etc. Food I could get into me fast and that didn't require much chewing. I know it's hard, but you need to try your best to eat as you need strength.
