Sertraline - Sugar Craving

purdieang

Hi all, I've been on this for a week at 50mg for anxiety and I literally cannot stop eating sugar - doesnt matter if its in the form of fruit or refined I just cant stop. I've cleaned out the house of anything sweet, I've consumed entire blocks of chocolate and biscuits and dont feel full or sick, just have a headache. I've done this every day for 5 days now. If I cant find anything sweet I'll bake something and eat the lot, its like a true addiction (was a smoker for 18 years), i'll do anything to get my hands on something sweet. I'm hiding food for later and feel almost scared of running out!

I'm due to up the dose to 100mg today - a lot of people say they lost weight on this drug, why am I feeling like this? I lost 28lb in 10 weeks before I started the sertraline with the help of MFP , and am going to gain in right back if I cant stop this :-(
