I have a hunch that pdoc doesn't want to rx a stimulant because of the eating disorder. Stimulants and laxatives are usually not prescribed for anyone with and ED, just as controlled substances are not usually prescribed for addicts. Strattera is, as far as I know, the only non-stimulant med for ADHD.

If only that bit about addicts were true... Some addicts spend a majority of their time trying to get those medications from doctors. If they get inventive enough, it usually works.

I know a lady who used to use fake names, fake complaints all in an effort to get anti-anxiety medication. It worked for many years. She is now in her late 60's and goes into a psychotic state when she does not have Ativan or similar benzo. This happens all too often. Physicians do not want to promote this kind of behavior. Anyone that tells the physician what to give them is going to come under the looking glass.
