Has anyone experienced craving sweet treats more than usual?? Im currently going 5 months of shots but I’m craving sweets more then usual a before I never really liked sweets.

About 6 months into the treatment, aside from weight loss, I stopped biting my nails for the first time in my whole life. I also started shopping less and eventually completely stopped playing The Sims. I knew these side effects were a possibility and I welcomed them. I know it helps some people with alcohol consumption and gambling.

But I've been weaning off the drug and, after a few months, even though I've stayed in my target weight and my eating habits have managed to remain balanced, intuitive and mostly healthy, I see an increase in impulse spending again, I've gone back to biting my nails on occasion, and now I've been feeling like loading up The Sims again.

(Not that there's anything wrong with playing a videogame. But I did use to spend a lot of money on DLC and could spend 3 days building a house while neglecting sleep, food and bathroom breaks.)

Has anyone experienced anything similar with certain habits returning after quitting or lowering the dose? Has anyone managed to keep the habits at bay?

I gotta stock up on the protein and eat more, cuz I’m a lot more tired and my memory is getting bad, but forcing myself to eat anything is impossible.

Only things I can eat are liquids, or very soft.

I’ve really only been eating eggs, yogurt, and my fair life protein shakes.

Anyone else having this problem?
