Why am i suddeny craving carbs all the time?

Posted by loolot on December 22, 2003, at 15:37:53

I am on 36mg of strattera (my newest med), 450 mg of Wellbutrin, and 25 mcg of cytomel. I am also on lots of supplements, fish oil , tyrosine, B vitamins, etc.
Anyway, lately I have started to crave sugar and carbs a lot, it seems like it happened when I raised my straterra dosage, but I also had a break in my vitamin regimen for a week. What else could be causing these cravings???

I'll leave it to the experts to explain if possible the carbs crave in terms of the specifics you are taking. You have my sympathy, though - I find a number of drugs, or just my compulsive nature & general body chemistry, lead me to crave dried fruit, which I suspect is next only to candy in sugar content (but it's _goo-o-od_ sugar, being mostly fructose, I hope!).

Wellbutrin increased my appetite enormously. I gained weight on it as a result, contrary to most peoples' experience; I really had to watch my diet.
