Hi. Long time reader first time poster. :)
I’ve been suffering with an EDO since I was about 12. I'm now 25. I've been in a pretty strong recovery since 2001 with slip ups here and there. I've been on just about every SSRI on the market and they are awful for me. I was on a SNRI called Edronax (Reboxetine) which was a god send. But it's not FDA approved in America so I can't take it in the states. My doc prescribed wellbutrin and I'm wondering if anyone has any experiences with it? I'm a Ph.D clinical psych student and have studied psychopharmacology quite extensively. I know one of the big warnings with wellbutrin is lack of appetite.
I'll be honest and say that part of this warning is appealing to my anorexic side. The healthy side of me is concerned about potentially triggering a relapse. Has anyone used wellbutrin? What was your experience?
My current health status is ok. I eat somewhat normally (for a recovering AN). I am slightly underweight and a little BDD about my stomach but all in all I am highly productive and a successful student/clinician/researcher.
Thank you so much for any thoughts you can share with me!
