Hi everyone.

It has been awhile. I know.

I am on the medication prozac to treat my mild depression, and ocd tendicies, and have begun increasing my purging/ restricting habits. I am having a hard time eating foods, without feeling the need to releive my body of them. Has anyone here had that problem with the medication prozac?

Need your help. Thanks.

Have you been purging your food on purpose or can you really just not hold it down?

Your best plan would probably be to discuss it with your doctor. If this perticular medication isn't working for you I'm sure there is one that would suit you better.

I plan on it. There is supposively a link between prozac and this kind of behavior. Thanks.

Well, from what I know of, I thought Prozac was to help depression, I didn't know it was for eating disorders. I don't know, maybe it is. I know that it's going to be hard for someone to quit something like that though because it becomes something that they're accustom to. What helped me get over something like that was taking it one day at a time, but looking at the future results of it. Right now, you want to purge yourself probably for a short-term benefit I would imagine? But if you look at the long-term benefit you'll find that it's not exactly healthy for you. Just try taking it one day at a time. Learn to restrain even when it doesn't "seem like that big of a deal."
