Are you suffering from a very common eating disorder called bulimia nervosa? Individuals with this condition usually eat excessively and then purge themselves of all the food by inducing vomiting or bowel movements. There are many causes of bulimia, including psychological, environmental or emotional factors. Fortunately, the antidepressant Prozac can be used to effectively treat bulimia. Patients can take the drug in combination with counseling and therapy. Prozac can help them regain their self-esteem and restore the distorted body image they have before taking the drug. If you have bulimia nervosa, be sure to talk to your doctor about taking Prozac.
