Hrm. I'm wondering if PCOS is why I started having huge sugar cravings.
I would have some sugar cravings here and there that would come and go, but a few weeks after staring a psychiatric medication called clozaril, it got much worse. I would wake up in the morning and the first thought is "I need something sweet NOW"...I have never had such strong food cravings in my LIFE. Sweets are literally the worst things I could eat because I had the WLS Duodenal Switch. It kept my stomach upset/bloated, etc, but I couldn't stop. The clozaril was finally stopped and replaced with Latuda...months passed...the sugar cravings we thought were from the clozaril waned a little, but then came back as bad as ever. My hirutism and other PCOS symptoms flared up as well. I found out I had some new cysts on my left ovary. Finally, I went on Yaz on wednesday. I thought it would take weeks or months to notice anything at all - was hoping for a lessening of the hiruitism. But on thursday, I craved sweets less than usual. Then today....nothing. I don't want them. This is the first time in probably about 9 months that I have not wanted sweets. Can the Yaz even have an effect so quickly?!
I didn't notice it til I went to the grocery store to do my shopping, and I walked past the cookies and snack cakes that were on sale, and didn't even want them. I've ended up buying sweets about every time I've been to the store for the past 9 or so months, despite my best intentions.
I'm very thankful for whatever is helping this, but I'm curious if it could be the Yaz. I mean, I've only taken 3 pills of it. I have felt a little more moody, though. But I'm hopeful. I would like to start losing weight again, so I really hope this continues and the cravings don't come back.
My hormones were obviously out of whack. Besides the SUPER hair growth all over (especially on my chin/neck), also something weird had happened for the past month...kinda embarrassing but...I've had sore nipples for over a month. Never had that in my LIFE. And today, suddenly, they're not sore. So I have no idea. Something was going on with my hormones there, and I'm hoping the Yaz is righting it!
