I’ve changed medicine recently and I noticed that some of my desires have changed. I don’t crave sugar as much. Also, my NSFW preferences changed… significantly.

    I used to like eating eggs every morning and after starting meds I really quickly lost interest and switched to eating yogurt with flax seeds, a bit of maple syrup, and some oats or all-bran buds. It’s probably a healthier breakfast. I can’t stand mixed greens lately, but I think that’s just the season.

    I didn’t really notice any other preference changes.

    It mostly just feels like I have more energy and I spend more time actually doing things. A lot of stuff like listening to music felt way better and I used to have to be drunk to feel that way.

    I’m curious in what ways the meds changed your NSFW preferences if you don’t mind me asking? I’m not on any meds so I’m really curious how those 2 things are linked.

      Not speaking for OP but for a lot, meds can significantly impact one’s libido, often negatively. I’m sure there’s some other ways they can to - brain chemistry is weird - but that’s one common side effect.

    Honestly, the only thing my anxiety meds have done for me personality-wise is make me feel a lot more like myself.

    My NSFW desires are identical! :) …Well, I mean, i’m a lot less anxious about enjoying them fully, so my relationship to them is quite a bit different…

    I haven’t had preferences for likes and dislikes being changed. Medication type might matter for that?
