> ah, a fairly benign, no red-alerts question, but i am curious: my pdoc warned me that prozac-users often experience carbohydrate cravings. prior to taking prozac, i had a mad sweet tooth and liked bread, but now i'm addicted to vegetables (which i've always liked) and protein (cheese, beans). the idea of eating cake or ice cream grosses me out.

> sarLucky you! I most certainly did NOT experience that. I had the carbo and sweets cravings something fierce, plus whatever mechanism that normally regulates satiety seemed to have been knocked out of whack, so I could just eat and eat and eat that kind of stuff. On a few occasions, I literally ate until I was so sick I threw up! Needless to say, I gained over 30 pounds on the stuff. I'm just hoping Celexa (what I'm on now) won't do the same to me.
