I think that my current antidepressant medication (Venlafaxine) gave me a sweet tooth; shortly after beginning to take it, I wanted sweets much more than I used to, and the effect hasn’t subsided. (My mom says that many psychoactive medications tend to cause weight gain.)
I never noticed myself getting a sweet tooth when I was on Venlafaxine but your mom is right about effect of many psychoactive medications. Mind you she would be more right if she limited the claim somewhat… amphetamines have rather the opposite effect!

Have you considered Stevia (Rebaudioside A) as a solution?
For what? I don’t mind having a sweet tooth. I have gained a small amount of weight over the past 10 years, but it hasn’t been too dramatic...
Sorry, misinterpreted the sweet tooth mentioned together with weight gain as a potential issue. My wrong.
