Tinkle, Are you getting any therapy? Have you seen a psychiatrist or a general practitioner? It sounds like you really need a caregiver you can let this all out to and who you can trust to help you. It's so hard sometimes to fight with ourselves about what is wrong and what we fear and try to decide what we really need to do. I know I am having problems too.

Hello, I amso tired of all of this. How canit be that I have major depression and anxiety and anorexia and bulimia?? My meds were working so well, and then they stopped working to stop the ed voices, but first it was panic attacks that returned, they are a big trigger for my ed. I have had the ed for 11 years and was symptom free from spring 2004 'til about November 2004. It felt so good. But now iam right back into it and feeling depressed and having panic attacks ( I have social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder). My meds aren't working but I am afraid to stop them incase I gain weight. I am at a wt right now that I can handle (though a normal person would say I am too thin). BUt I am on welbutrin and bingeing and purging puts me at increased risk of having a grand mal seizure - so why isn't that enough for me to stop?? I wish I could stop. I also hate that the meds were workng and then stopped but I still have no sex drive -- haven't had one since I started meds in fall 2003. I hate that side effect. I am also on clonazepam for the anxiety and I am thinking of asking jsut to have the dosage increased, i only take 0.5 mg one in the morning one at night. But then if Iam off the welbutrin Iwon't start any other antidepresant because I am way too afraid of getting fat. I have a bottle of prozac in my bedroom right now - but I won't touch it - to afraid to get fat.....I am just venting sorry guys...I am thinking of trying some alternative therapies, any ideas?????help!
