Hi there,
Thanks for all of this information. I am a little worried too about the association Wellbutrin/bulimia: I have been prescribed Wellbutrin and would like to start taking it (have the pills but haven't started taking them yet), but reading the package insert I saw that it was contra-indicated for people with bulimia. I don't know if I fall in this category or not. I am not bulimic per se, but it does happen that when I feel very down, I'll have a small binge and then make myself throw up. This happens maybe a couple times a month when I feel very down; most of the time I'm fine and don't purge for several months in a row.
Should I still avoid taking Wellbutrin? If I start taking it, I can make a commitment not to make myself throw up even if I feel really down, will that do?Thanks in advance!
