> So you want to take a psychotropic medication that is used to alleviate depression to help increase your anorexia instead? Why not just use illicit drugs? Why even go the psychotropic route if you are not interested in treating your illness?If you were a true hard core anorexic you'd be able to lose weight without medication anyway. People are suffering here this is not a joke.
"Hard core" anorectic? ["Anorexic" is a descriptive term and incorrectly used here.]
I almost died last year because of anorexia nervosa. I weighed 58 pounds. I have suffered from this illness since I was 12. I am 23 now.
Sweetie, you don't have a clue what anorexia is until you've been pronounced dead from heart failure because you're at such a low weight. I have been to many hospitals and many physicians and declared the worst case of anorexia they have ever seen in person.
Recently, my bulimic behaviors have become out of control, which is why I want to take Parnate for its appetite-suppressant effects. Something to jump-start further weight loss. Around this weight, my body begins to resist me, because it knows where this is all headed.
I have accepted that I am a chronic anorectic and that I am probably going to die from this illness. It's funny how freeing it is once you've given yourself entirely to the disease.
