This is completely normal!

 

fat stores estrogen. Your fat cells are breaking down and dumping estrogen into your system. You will be moody! You will be extremely fertile!  

Be aware of the cause and make sure your prescribing doc knows too. This is not permanent and may only last for a few months. You want to keep a close eyeball on the meds and make sure they get adjusted back down appropriately after your estrogen and testier one levels equal out again after your initial rapid weight loss. Talk to your doc for more details and educate all your other docs too.

GL!

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "really dealing with issues on why you overeat."   Now that you can't overeat, you have to deal with the feelings.  It's hard.  I know it's hard.  I think the only way through this is, well, through it.  Feel the feelings.  You'll come through it on the other side.

Yup, your emotional switch has been turned to the 'on' position.  This is why I am the biggest advocate of therapy.  It does help.
