This happens to me too I lost 100 pounds. I've been anorexic/bulimia is sucks to have this condition. I go from anorexia to bulimia i don't know why i'm like this! I used to take bontril 105 mg, and im addicted to it, makes me feel good i have will power and don't need to binge and purge! Please if you can foward a website where i can find this please let me know! Good Luck! I'm with you!
What you might try is to find out the chemical components of Phentermine to see what might be reducing your ED behaviors. There might be a chemical compound in it that typically aids people who suffer with depression or anxiety, and it may be that your body needs that chemical component to balance it out.
I take Lexapro, 20mg, for my depression and anxiety, and it seems to help me. Why did you decide to stop seeing your psychiatrist? She might be able to help you with your quandry.
No dumbass.....not phentermine......sheesh....u need to chill.... I didn't take phentermine from age 16-30 & I always felt this way, so it's not phentermine as you say DOC! Where's your fucking PHD. Seriously. I'm done with you brainiac! LMMFAO! Goodbye.
Weirdo? Why do you have the need to bash on her? She is reaching for good people who want to listen. Go watch something else if you don't like. It's that simple.
I'm a psychiatrist. it is possible that you do have a chemical imbalance in your brain. Have you ever undergone psycho, cognitive, or behavior modification therapy? You mentioned using appetite suppressants as a way to make you feel "normal", but once you stop taking them do those effects not subside? It is for this reason, among obvious other ethical reasons, that it would be prejudicial to prescribe a patient suffering from any eating disorder, and most certainly bulimia nervosa, phentermine.
You're a psychiatrist and are 21 and you're a waitress? Confusing. Never the less, I have gone to 1 lady and she was very good, but I never continued. I don't know why. I just felt like I was wasting her time. Yes, they do subside, so that is why I think we should be able to have them prescribed to us, so that we can lead a normal life and eat normally.
i used to make my self thorugh up all the time it became a habbit until i started faintin in school then i realised i had to get some help x it made me feel good though but it its not x im very healthy now .x i hope yoor not still doing it are yoo?
This is a problem that I've had since I was 16 yrs. old. & I still struggle with the urge everyday to purge. It's been 17 years., so more than half my life now. Thank goodness you have stopped.
sure it would. I don't keep certain foods in the house because I don't want to eat them or go overboard, but with the fast food, I have to go get it anyways and sometimes I break down and just go get it!
the phentermine replaces the oxytocin that u lose through stress and mal-nutrition. it's the feel good get your brain right hormone that alot women don't have enough of and but need, i'm one of them.
Yep Phentermine is the same as Duromine here in Aust.. I found when I took it. Here they call it legal speed! It helped me with tiredness but not weight loss and I found after a few months it actually made it harder to lose weight how about you?
phentermine has an amphetamine like component that increases metabolism that raises dopamine levels and suppresses appetite just like speed luv when Im on it I have heaps of energy but your body does after time get used to it. Mind you I have never tried speed
your dead right. I don't have an eating disorder (I do overeat though i don't purge.)
I noticed when i was on phentermine (duromine here in Australia)it stopped my need to over eat. That tells you something, like there is switch in our brain that is jammed or something and the drug makes things work correctly again. There is a definite difference on and off the drug.
I wish i could help with your bulimia but i don't have any answers. Have you tried hypnotherapy perhaps? Its very good.
I haven't tried hypnosis. It seems to be a crock to me, and probably won't work for me since I don't believe in it. I think you have to believe in hypnosis for it to work.
Its definitely not a crock but i do understand scepticism. It honestly works and you don't have to 'believe' in it to work. Its just a relaxed brain state. Often when people binge they are in a mild state of hypnosis...that zoned out kind of numb feeling. Its a personal choice whether to try it or not but there's no harm. The worst that can happen is it doesn't work for you, which is where you're at anyway, so there's nothing to loose. Just a thought. I can understand your frustration though.
i've been reading about lucid dreams and some dude who wrote the book says you can use them to fix problems in the waking life. so i'm gonna try that. not saying it'll work or anything. :P i don't have faith in hypnosis either or don't trust it - but in dreams i find myself able to confront things better.
I take one day at a time. Ive started eating six small meals a day. It has made me feel comfortable in the stomach I only eat when I feel hungry Ive been doing it for almost two weeks now and I actually feel better we ll see how it goes. Take care luv I just wish I had the courage to do vids take heart luv you are helping others by talking about it xx
Hey Luv Im in Australia so is phentermine the same as Duramine? I ve been bulimic since 1997 and my mum has been Anorexic since I was very young and Im 42. It hurt my mum when she found out I was bulimic she felt it was her fault and its not it comes back to self esteem addictive behaviour and ultimately Im responsible. Im where you are luv I dont binge eat I can go all day with out food and not feel hungry till 4pm and then it starts. It feels like a vicious circle. xxx
Its illegal to buy on the internet now, and anywhere that you buy it will end up scamming you for your money, and there's nothing you can do to get it back because its illegal to get it without a prescription... Raleigh is about two hours from Charlotte... Or maybe search the internet for "Bariatric Medicine".. that's how I found the lady in Raleigh...
I know what you mean about the phentermine. I don't know if you remember me, but I was the one that told you about it a long time ago. I took it for months and lost about 60 lbs, and it only took me one year to gain most of that back.. and now I'm on it again... isn't that horrible? I think I'm an addict - phentermine is the only thing that makes me feel good about myself... Its a gift and a curse. DON'T buy it on the internet! There is a doc in Raleigh that will prescribe it...
If you feel more "normal" on phentermine you might want to talk to a doctor about if you have ADD/ADHD. Phentermine has much in common with Adderall + Ritilin, if it makes you more focused and in control than maybe look into it. Lots of self tests you can do online.
Junk food is so addictive, eat less + you'll want less. Eat MORE healthy food (salad, fruit, veggies) so you're really full. I go to OA meetings online when I want to binge, Meeting list on oa(dot)org.
I talked to my dr about perscribing it and he said no and didnt tell me why. but to me it sounds so logical. because even if they had reservations about it at least i would be under a dr's care while on the drug instead of sneakin to get it or binging and purging off of it. Its so rediculous that they are so tight with that drug but will perscribe drugs like adderal and ritalin to anyone with a short attention span. whatever..im venting.
OMG yes the mental & emotional guilt, and then maintaining it's all so overwhelming when you struggle with an ED. I feel it on good and bad days... fat or when thin. There is/was always those things that have to sneak in and F with my thought process and not let me be. I try to stay away from the pills these day due to past abuse but there prob is a herbal supplement that would equal to that as well I would think.
I'm always craving junk too! I don't purge as much as I used to, but now I wish that I still did because I gained mad weight by not getting rid of it after bingeing.
I'm currently wondering the same thing, I feel for you, I'm so sick of binging. It seems like it is the way I end most days. It's got to stop! I can't take it anymore...I would take anything to stop this, anything. Take care
I just dont know what to do with myself when I see that you posted a new vid! lol Its so strange and weird to get used to again but i'm soooo glad you're back! Anywho, I definitely understand the guilt you feel with food.....it seems lately that I feel guilty after eating just about ANYTHING.....it sucks:( I know that I'm just contributing to my huge belly rolls when I eat...i really despise food....
Pills are only the quick fix, you have to get rid of the junk food, if its not there you can't eat it, just stick to healthier stuff. And when you get the urge to start eating the junk food do something else, grab the dog and go for a walk or drink a big glass of water which will make you feel a bit fuller for a while, you have to distract yourself with something better, thats how I've now stopped binging and purging
I've tried distracting myself. I'm not making excuses, but I've tried everything and it works for a few days and then I go overboard. I seriously think I'm missing some chemical in my brain.
you can't distract yourself with lesser things. like people saying to me go for a walk instead don't know that a walk is a much less appealing option than the addiction itself. and so whenever you are feeling weak you go for the more appealing option to feel better because a lame walk is not going to do that.
i know people [ED girls] that take phentermine. it's one of the drugs i want to try too. it's ment to reduce appetite. if i take that i can stop binging, therefore stop purging. it's ment to be from the amphetermine family. i tried speed once and loved it. i didn't eat and excercised loads. my dream! i'll ask around to see where people are buying it online. let me know if you find any good sites. it would be great if i could find a "buy now pay later" site. :/
Hey sweety, so know what you mean. Exactly the reason why i throw up to. I try to stay under 70 kg now and it is so hard and i'm so tired!! Everytime i'm scared to throw up, my brains are messing with me and i just do it. Afterwards i'm scared again, i might get a haert attack!! Love ya honey!! I've thought about you so many times. Really glad to see you are back! X
and i also wish i could get an gastric bypass... even though im not very overweight, i could fit three pizza's in my stomach:P and a hamburger or five!that's not normal.. i wish i could shrink it into the size of an apple....
This happens to me too I lost 100 pounds. I've been anorexic/bulimia is sucks to have this condition. I go from anorexia to bulimia i don't know why i'm like this!
