I also wanted to tell you atht the whole eating thing did start with a truama where he moved to another town, lost his friends, etc. However, the biochemitry on both sides is shit. I have been on prozac for 12 years and should have been on it when I was younger, but instead suffered through many wasted years of psychotherapy. I also have panic disorder . HIs dad has the same stuff.It is just hard to know if binge eating is a learned response. THere is no diabetes and nothing in his blood work. Somehow the stimulant action of wellbutrin seems to help.
Have you had any experience with being sick and finding that your meds temporarily don't work?
HIs weight is only 140 and probably should be 150, but he gets scared of overeating because of the binge thing.
It is so hard to be his parent sometimes, but I am super supportive. His step dad finds it a lot harder to understand and of course that puts me in the middle.
Thanks
