[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 372090, member: 1550"] medications can and do cause cravings that are impossible to ignore. You can literally think of nothing but food. Antidepressants and antipsychotics and mood stablizers are all big offenders (there are a few that are supposed to be different, but I think it depends on the person...I've taken so many medications in my life and I can tell you that the craving is NOT defiance, it's desperation...lol). And, of course, you crave carbs and sweets. When my son was on medications he was pretty young so we restricted him the best we could. He was great at begging food off of others anyway and I'm glad he's off medications now, however his huge weight gain has not gone away. He's still got a weight problem and I wonder if the medications played with his metabolism because no doctor can find out why he still seems to crave the bad foods. He never did before medications so I assume the medications have something to do with it even though he's not on them anymore. [/QUOTE]
