The sense of euphoria that comes from eating something sweet is quite 
real."

FWIW, Ron, I believe this is true. Having taken a large dose of an  anti-depressent for over a decade, I am nearly weaned off.  After my most recent decrease a month ago,  I have had the most intense cravings for sweets - fruit pies to be exact. I didn't realize the reason for my craving until I read your response. It makes a lot sense to me, and has given me the strength to ignore my craving for fruit pies. Its funny that I'm not craving the fruit. Its the pie.


Thanks!
Trish
