I started taking fluoxetine several weeks ago and after about three weeks I started getting these strange obsessions. I started feeling strong immediate cravings from just a thought. I think about food at all and immediately I have to have food. Then I eat until I'm sick! Everytime I think about a cigarrette I have to have one immediately. It's almost like a panic attack until I get what I'm obsessing about. I've gained 15 pounds and doubled the amount of cigarrettes I'm smoking. Then a few days ago the same thing happened with crack. I felt like I was driven and had no choice but to use.
