Has changing medicines changed your preferences for other things?

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.

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?

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.
