("the only medication the FDA has officially approved for eating disorders"),


Is this what the 2nd opinion doc said? If so, I agree with you to question him. If my doc stuck to "on-label" medication uses, I would be left with few options. The more experienced docs in the trenches know that off label uses of meds are essential in many cases of psychiatric illness.

Depending on the specifics of your eating disorder history, I would imagine, though that many docs would want to be cautious with wellbutrin. They would not want to be responsible if you had a seizure. But that doesn't preclude considering it as a possibility. You need a doc who is willing to take a closer look and not just dismiss a whole array of med possibilities offhand.
