I eat a relatively healthy vegetarian diet with loads of protein from http://www.frysvegetarian.co.za/ yet i can't lose weight. is it one of my meds?

Probably Not: From the list above. Remember that taking in more calories than required for daily maintenance may get stored as excess weight. First, be certain about your intake. Keeping a daily log on myfitnesspal.Com may clarify things. Calculating one's daily needs requires a formula: an app like "calorie calculator" can help. Good luck!

Yes: Vegetarian diet is not neccesarily a weight loss diet. Their are many overweight vegetarians. You still need to reduce overall caloric intake and increase excercise. Antihistamines do increase apetite and contribute to weight gain. Counselling to reduce anxiety may be helpful.

I recently started eating around 70 g. per day of protein. Was eating too little before, now eating healthy vegetarian diet. My BUN was always on low end, today it's 20. Still in range, but can my increase in protein make BUN higher? Should I worry?
