The thing for me is that prozac actually triggered my anorexia into the lowest weight I had ever been at the age of 43 & I landed in a treatment center & constantly in & out of the hospital for several years medically.

Fast forward to 2004 (not quite 10 years later)....I ended up going through a trauma that really messed me up with the home care person when my mother was dying of cancer.....again....anorexia hit.

The thing is....it doesn't matter what the trigger is....if it ends up in the ED behavior.....then it is what it is....it doesn't have to be body image issues that take us there.....that is a fallacy that all too many believe.

Anything can trigger the behavior & it needs to be handled professionally if you can't deal with it yourself which is not easy because accountability is always important in dealing with anorexia or any ED.
