Hi Maxime
I'm not sure what you are asking as far as what med started it all? Its such a circle I dont really know. I have had this eating problem off and on for a few years after living with my finace who used to make me weigh myself every day. (we are no longer together) but it was that break up that threw me into depression and it was at that time that i was put on lexapro. as i said i gained weight with it and the whole thing got out of control. I'd rather be depressed a little and not have the extra weight than be happy on medication and fat. I have never been treated for an eating disorder. I dont think I could go to my doctor and say "hey, I cant keep my food down if I eat too much". when i was in counseling, she knew but we really didnt focus on it cuz most of the time i told her it was getting better. I really dont know what to do because on one hand i think it will go away but on the other hand it shouldnt be happening in the first place and lately my body has been reacting different to it, I get really shaky afterwards. But I've been really stressed out lately with the threat of being laid off at work, taking three classes this term to finish my degree, being a single mom of a teenager, needless to say the b/p has been rough this week but today i managed not to do it so far..as long as i dont eat tonight i know i wont purge.
thanks for your concern
yvonne
