Hi all, I have had issues with an eating disorder for a long time. started at 12 years old with anorexia and than got well phsyically but emotionally i am still messed up. I suffer from anorexia/bullemia in a way that I am afraid to eat still and when I am anxious I throw up what i ate. I dont binge and than throw up. I am in the process of gettng help for this by counseling and nutriton therapy. and I am petrified I am going to get fatter by learning how to eat the right way. I am on prozac and risperodol and also Buspar and i dont seem to have many episodes as much but i am gaining weight and I dont know ifi it is from meds or what. I eat but not alot to think i am putting weight on. can someone help me!!!!!!! My husband wants nothing to do with my eating issues.

why dont you just tell your counselor that your gaining weight and think it might be the meds. i suffer from bulimia and i still purged but i wwas gaining alot of weight. i put on 20 pounds. it was because of my abilify. so probly the culprit for your weight gain might be the risperdol or buspar. hope this info helps.

Also, ask you Dr to check your thyroid levels. You can gain weight from that.
