WEIRD side effects

Curious about anyone else…

  1. Coffee/hot drinks: I don’t want it at all. I used to LOVE my morning coffee and now I force myself to drink it so I don’t get a headache (I still need the caffeine). I don’t want any hot drinks, period.

  2. SWEETS: I want sweets! I used to never have a sweet tooth and now I need something every day.

  3. Sparkling vs Still: I used to drink a bunch of LeCroixs on a daily basis. Now? I want either plain water OR have been drinking a bunch of Crystal Light.

  4. Perfume: The weirdest one is my perfume. I have been wearing the same scent for 20 years and now I cannot stand it. Smells all weird and powdery on me.

I don’t know if any of these are connected or if I’ve just ….changed. Anyone? I have been on the shot since Jan.

I was also a multiple coffee a day person, and now have a serious aversion to hot coffee and pretty much all hot drinks. My beloved coffee mug collection is collecting dust, and the new Nespresso machine I bought hasn't been used in months.

I can't say I miss the coffee itself (because even the thought of drinking it makes me nauseous), but I miss the experience of pouring a cup, how the warm mug feels in my hand, the ritual of slowly walking up in the morning while enjoying my coffee.

Yes!! It doesn’t make me feel sick, but the idea of having it is just like ughhhh I do NOT want it!

Food aversion! I've experienced so much of this on this medication, it's wild.
