Kat ~ Thank You for writing all that up about emotional eating.
I have an eating disorder, I have dealt with anorexia for many, many years.
I all most died from it in fact.
I have been obsessed about my weight all my late teen to adult life.
Your post really spoke to me. I have been doing some binge eating for the last three weeks and I don't know why.
I have a lot of stress in my life right now so I guess it's coming from that, however that is usually when I STOP eating !
This binge eating has me so stressed out. I've never done this before and I want it to stop and stop NOW.
I'm really feeling out of control. I don't know if I should ask my pdoc to increase my Zonegran or not, he doesn't know about my eating disorder. I don't know how he would deal with that. Some pdoc's don't care about your weight issues, they only want to treat your mental disorder, .....even though I guess the eating disorder is a mental disorder !?!?!
And just for the record, I have bipolar and OCD.
I have a good friend who also see my same pdoc and she has put on a lot of weight due to Lithium, and he want change her meds ! So I really don't feel like I can tell him what's going on with me for fear he would put me on some kind of weight gaining med, one of my biggest fears !
The Zonegran is a lot like Topamax and suppose to have the appetite suppressant side effect, however at the 200mg a day that I'm on I have not had that side effect, but it is a very good med for my bipolar. Next month makes a year that I've been on the Zonegran. I was on Topamax before the Zonegran for about two and half years.
