I am aware of Nina's warning, but I know some on here have taken Wellbutrin, so I'm just wondering about that risk factor for people who have had eating disorders. It's not like I'm using this instead of doctor's advice...but I really want to go back on Wellbutrin because I can't handle this consuming wall of despair anymore. I will hurt myself if I don't do something...it's really not getting better and I don't know why I keep pretending that I'll just be able to buck up and fix it myself. I was seeing a psychologist, but it didn't work out...I'm seeing my doctor next week for a referral to a psychiatrist:
SO I am really worried that I'll be denied Wellbutrin if I fully disclose my food issues. BUT as far as I can tell, the risks are more for anorexics, and I was never anorexic. I also never purged. Even at the height of the crap, which was years ago, I did more of a fasting/ binging/ over-excercising thing. My BMI was not lower than 17.5 or so at the very lowest. So it's not like it was extreme. It barely qualifies as an 'eating disorder', I don't think. The problems are more in my head than my behaviour. And it's not like I'd be doomed...it only increases the risk for seizures. I don't care about seizure potential if it makes me feel better right now.
So...I'm afraid of other pills. I really want the ones I know that worked before. Would I be wrong in not disclosing that other history? It's not like do cocaine, or even drink anymore. I think the risks would be fairly low.
