Hey everyone,

It's been awhile since I've been on,but I've been feeling really discouraged cause I can't seem to stop bingeing and purging. It's like I have some obession and addiction to food. I see my doctor on Tuesday and was wondering if anyone knows of any medication to help stop this uncontrollable bingeing that I can ask her about. I really just want to stop and heal from this and it's crazy because I know how bad it is for my health and body, yet I can't seem to stop:( Any advice would be really appreciate.~Jewels

i know...it is a hard thing to stop! its weird tho, i do the same thing, but it is saturday and i never done it since monday. i am gaining weight, so i snack thruout the day, but somehow i manage to control myself? its like something clicked! i dunno...but im feeling really good!:) neways, about medication wise, i take antidepressants, but really, i dont think they do nething. honestly, no drug can cure us..its our mind emotionally.

i hope u take care hun!:wave:

I have heard that prozac is supposed to help prevent bingeing and purging...but I don't think there has been any conclusive results.

Strange thing is...i know there is a medication out there to help alcoholics stop having cravings for alcohol....so you would think there would be some sort of drug out there that could help people like us. Not that I completely trust so called 'modern medicine' these days. It seems like there is a contradictory study coming out every week...or a drug being pulled from the shelves b/c of increased risk of heart attacks or something!

I guess the best precription is to find a healthy substitute for our bingeing/purging. Sometimes i start to think after i have done it...what did i get out of that other than feeling even more miserable now....what could I have done instead that would have made me actually feel better and comforted.
Still...a wonder drug would be nice!
