I've never been a huge craver of sweets, but salty things is what I crave. When my doc put me on phentermine he also gave me lexapro as he has seen some pretty strong research which indicates that those that are hungry more often tend to produce less seratonin. So the anti-depressant keeps me from reaching for food for my seratonin fix.

Also, I know you don't like exercise, but I find I crave less when I actually get out in the sun and get my heart pumping I'm sure that helps increase my seratonin levels naturally! Even a nice walk helps with it!
