> I'm also on a psychostimulant, Concerta, despite my ED. My experience was a tiny bit different from Maxime's -- methylphenidate stimulated my appetite A LOT when I started it. So much so, I stopped taking it. When I tried again, it wasn't so bad. Honestly -- I think there's something in the biochemistry of eating disorders that can make us really wonky with medications.
ABSOLUTELY! Our brain chemistry is messed from lack of food, or if one is bulimic, purging messes everything up as well. No doubt about it.
I'm so down right now.
