Talk to your Pdoc- they can only help you based on what you tell them. My binge eating was horrible when I wasn't medicated.

I absolutely hate that feeling that the only thing you can do to feel at ease is to eat.. and then when you do- you realize that didn't help at all- but it takes away the feeling temporarily. Then for me- the urge always seemed stronger than the previous one. Fortunately, being on my meds has helped reduce my urge greatly.

I've gone to Overeaters Anon Support groups- unfortunately- they didn't really help me, but I can tell you that overeating isn't specific to bipolar- some people will use it for anxiety or depression.

Best of luck to you- let us know what your p-doc says.
