Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details, in which there is no mention of how is your blood glucose controlled. Sometimes if blood glucose is not wll controlled, there is a chance of loosing weight and developing signs of general weakness. The medicine mentioned (cyproheptadine) is actually an antihistamine. Appetite stumlation is a side-effect of that drug. It is not supposed to be taken for that at all. Plus it will produce fair amount of drowsiness. Thanks.

Yes it does go to breast milk
Dexamethasone does pass into breast milk, but low doses taken by the mother are unlikely to significantly affect a nursing baby.
Take drugs that are absolutely essential for your health and inform your treating doctor about breast feeding so that doses can be adjusted or drug withdrawn
