When I read your post, I read it as asking for advice on how to lose weight. That wouldn't be appropriate here, as you can imagine.
Asking for help on how to avoid falling farther into the mental aspects of an ED, on the other hand, is appropriate here -- since half of most EDs is 90% mental...
I guess, talking to your doctor about it, about how you're feeling about the weight gain from meds -- which is very difficult to handle, I've been there -- is the best I can offer. If you have a T, that's the best of all -- and, if you don't, how about getting one? There are also support groups in most communities for people struggling with EDs, and those would be helpful.
I'll stand by what I said earlier, though: keep a food diary for the doctor, before going in, so that you can show that you're not just overeating. That can make such a difference!
Good luck, and again -- sorry for the misunderstanding.
