> JamesECA stack (ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin) works for me. Started binge eating after withdrawing from Effexor, and then even more on Remeron, and didn't stop when I got off it. Gained 30 lbs in 6 months. I've lost 10 of those pounds and 1.7% body fat in the month since I started taking it.
Ephedrine is a behind-the-counter drug in the US. I don't know what the laws are in the UK.
You could also try clenbuterol or nicotine gum. Neither of these are anorectics, but they help by increasing your basal metabolic rate.
