Do antidepressants really help manage eating disorders? Posted: 11-12-07 00:15am
Hi everyone,
I am ana/ mia
1. I keep missing my period couple of
months at a time, should i be really
worried?
2. How quickly do calories absorb once
they are eaten?
3. If i go see a G.P and tell them about
my e.d, will they be obligated to tell my
parents (i'm 16 years old)?
4. For the people who have been on
anti-depressents; do they really help with
an e.d and how?
5. My face is always really swollen, i've
tried putting ice on my cheeks, but it
doesn't seem to help, anyone have any
other ideas?
If you have any answeres please let me
know, i really want this e.d to stop, it
is my worst enemy. I hate it more than
anything in this world. Please let me know
if theres anything i can do!

Hi. go seek professional help ASAP!!!
1. SURE!! That's really something to worry
a lot about!
3. They may not. That's not what you
should worry about. You must worry on
recovering.
4. No, they don't, they cause addiction
and may turn you dependable on them.
GET HELP.

Yeah, i'd say you need to get help. It's
really not something to toss around.. For
me, i started to get a lot better, and im
much better off than i was, but not 100%
yet. Last year, i was put on depression
medicine and my ed did get easier to
control because i was in a happier mood,
and was more prone to accept myself. I'm
not saying depression medicine is the
answer, but it did help. I was on Zoloft
for depression and anxiety. I didn't know
it would help me in the ed aspect. I got
off of it over the summer, and im almost
back to how i was before i started taking
it which isnt good. But you just have to
fight it and pray to God you come out on
top. Just be strong about it and dont lose
the faith. God will be with you every step
of the way giving you that strength :] You
can beat it!
