Prozac (fluoxetine): "This medication was completely useless for treating my bulimia or any symptoms associated with it."

"I started taking fluoxetine for anxiety (never told the MD about my bulimia) and was relieved when my bulimia was alleviated as well. I stopped taking the medicine last week because I think it makes me a little TOO happy, kind of high-acting all the time, even though I am only on a 20 mg/day dose. My husband does not like the change in personality I have had while on it. He doesn't know about my disorder. While on the medicine my bulimia was greatly reduced, but I did binge and purge still on occasion. Felt a greater sense of self control though. Since quitting the medicine about a week ago, I have been out of control, binging and purging twice a day on average. I think I need to start taking it again, placebo effect or not."

Prozac (fluoxetine): "I'm taking 60 mg Prozac since 4 weeks. I only relapsed twice in the first week (while being on a lower dose) It took away the urge to binge and even purge. I'm less depressed, too. I've been through 5 years of psychoanalysis and 2 hospital stays all to no avail (never took medicines). I have bulimia for over 25 years and am hopeful to get rid of the food pressure - for good. Prozaz changed my life so far. I'll update at a later time."

Prozac (fluoxetine): "I am 23 years old and have been bulimic since I was 11. This is the first medication that made a difference. I used to take Prozac for depression, and it helped somewhat. When my eating disorder got way too out of hand, my psychiatrist and I decided to raise my dose to 100 mg (dosage is higher for bulimia than depression). I still feel obsessive over food and weight, but now when I get the urge to binge I have a chance to fight it. It seems to have lessened the compulsion or the need to follow through on urges. It's not a miracle cure, but it has given me a fighting chance. I was actually able to go through an entire pregnancy without binging or purging once. I am now in recovery, and my slips are few and far between."

Prozac (fluoxetine): "This has made such a difference to my life. It is like the "voice" that continues to tell me I am too fat and that all the "bad" things in life would be better if only I were thinner, has weakened. It is still there but I don't have to listen, if fact I can even ignore it. What a relief. It has made me realize just how much time I was spending listening to all the negative thoughts, planning the food, covering up the vomiting. I finally feel "normal" what a relief."
