Upped my Luvox to 100 mg /day about 10 days ago. Will discuss effect on anxiety later, as too early to tell and changes are happening day by day. The one issue I want to ask about is INSANE simple carb cravings which has been a constant since the dose-up.
I'm a meat/salt/savory type of guy. I'm very fit and smack in the middle of my BMI, and normally can't stand sweats and carbs. But since I dosed up to 100 mg /day I get insane hunger pangs consistently for stuff like cake, bananas, chocolate, etc. This baffles me to no end. And when I actually give in an have, say, a chocolate bar, I become extremely euphoric and high! Like I snorted coke or something. This can't go on or I'll turn into a balloon. I don't understand this. I thought SSRIs were prescribed as treatment for compulsive eating. I don't just crave it, I get hunger pangs and get high when I eat it!
Anyone else experience this on an SSRI?!!
