Hi Adrian,
I think Metformin is sometimes used off label for appetite/weight issues in people taking psych meds. A potential problem, however, is that an appetite suppressant might play into your eating disorder/make it really hard to manage your appetite is suppressed too much. I can see Ed having a field day -- and this is assuming you could find someone willing to prescribe it to someone with an ED history!
