Lexapro and Chocolate

Posted by baracuda on April 5, 2003, at 1:26:02

this realization makes me SO sad :(
i have found that since i started taking lexapro, i cannot handle chocolate. it makes me feel like i want to jump out of my skin and run screaming. i feel extremely anxious, twitchy, shaky, and nervous.

this really breaks my heart, as chocolate was really the only thing that would soothe my pms symptoms, and now i cant even THINK about it without getting antsy.

is this normal???

hI - I just stared week 4 of Lex. As a choc addict, I find that I really don't crave it anymore and it is helping me loose weight (Yeah). Also, the PMS is so far this month is not nearly as bad as usual and the binge eating has almost stopped. So, for me this is a blessing.

i know this sounds crazy - and i should be very thankful that im not binging or craving sweets anymore, because im not - but i dont have any 'comfort' activity to replace it. i guess i have been struggling with bulimia for the majority of my life that now that its going away i feel lost...

im working thru this with my counselor....:(
