> Sounds like you have an eating disorder Jen. I'm manic-depressive and an anorexic (occassional binge eater). I binge eat when I'm angry, so I'm working on my anger. Try to figure out why you binge eat (probably from an uncomfortable emotion) and work on it with a therapist. Eating regularly helps too, it breaks the pysiological pattern of starving yourself and then binge eating. Most people's body will force them to binge-eat if they diet. Good luck, can't help you with the medications. cw
I'm also manic-depressive and have a problem with overeating. I'm 22 and was diagnosed when I was about 13. I take eskalth and depakote and have been ahving problems with weight. I always feel that I am alone and no one understands me. I don't have anyone to go to to talk about it either. If you find anything out about the medication post a message. Good luck.
