Side effects such as these we experienced on hormonal therapy are really played down! My doctor didn't even mention them until I did, and kind of poo-pooed them. Thank GOD for the internet! I would have had no idea otherwise that this was making me nuts! The package insert barely mentions it, except to say may cause depression, and I couldn't find anything about the severe increase in appetite, especially for sugary foods.
I am so sorry to hear of the spoiled wedding and the sudden onset of hunger and apathy in Jew-Lo. (Great nic, BTW)
On a happier note, I found out I am already covered for medical leave at my job (I thought I had to wait until next year), so we have given up on BC and are trying to have a baby now! My OB/GYN said the Prozac I'm on is fine, as well as the Wellbutrin that just got added. At least the baby will have a stable mom now, thanks to medication.
