I'm being treated for depression, with the ED as a sort of afterthought for everyone -- except me -- and today things got rough. The doctor added Wellbutrin to my prescription, but told me that he was hesitant to do so, because of the risk of seizures with EDs. He did go ahead, because i assured him I don't purge in any way, which satisfied him it was safe enough to try it.

I'm pleased with that change, but I had to promise to try harder to eat more. That's really hard for me, because every other episode I've ever had has been "resolved" by anti-depressant drugs that made me gain a tremendous amount of weight. I've never actually recovered from this in any meaningful way, although as long as my weight is above a certain threshold and I don't get hit by too many anxiety producing things at once, I haven't had any problems for long periods. I had even learned, finally, to recognize when I was hungry, and eat because of it!

My therapist is not an ED specialist. Does anyone know anything about what sorts of treatments help? Or anything that might help me? I'm very upset at the thought of having ot eat more, but I also know I have to. I just don't know HOW!
