It does sound unhealthy.

You need to fuel your body... even if you don't have time to sit and eat a meal, you should grab a granola bar and a piece of fruit... or some carrots... or other small, healthy, portable snack...

It's not good to put your body through a cycle of starving and then binging... this will not help you to maintain a healthy body, or to be thin, it will only hurt your internal organs, and have long-term effects, such as stomach problems, skin problems, and issues with your bone density.

Try to take the time to eat regularly... several, small meals throughout the day will help to keep you energized, and help you to maintain a strong, healthy, properly-functioning body.

By the sounds of things you have dramatically lost a lot of weight which is very concerning. Many people Skip breakfast but, it is known that breakfast is the most important meal of the day because it kick starts your metabolism.

I would go see a doctor about the medication as It may be causing the weightloss.
