In reply to binge eating disorder- anyone?, posted by amyw on August 13, 2000, at 13:17:49
I have been diagnosed with Binge eating disorder, as well as Depression. I was on celexa and wellbutrin, but was taken off, and put on effexor xr. One thought is that anxiety has a lot to do with the disorder -- and WB can cause anxiety; the celexa doubled part of what effexor was doing, so we also got rid of celexa.
Like any eating disorder, therapy is important. As far as I know, no one drug has been cited as the cure. It is a new disorder (as far as being diagnosed), and so there is very little out there about it. My pdoc is in the process of learning new therapy techniques to try to help me.
Interestingly, I had a wierd OCD behavior re: a certain way I read the newspaper when I was younger -- I had to read it in a certain way otherwise I would get major anxiety -- like I screwed up or something. Anyway, behaviors like these can show up later in life as eating disorders.
Might want to see a Pdoc specializing in eating disorders, if your not already.
