Hi Ania - I really like your name. It's beautiful and original.
Dexedrine, as I'm sure you know, is used for ADD and sometimes depression. It decreases your appetite and if you are a sluggish type person because of depression, it would definately help you move around throughout your day with lots of energy. It does this for me anyway.
There nothing quite like your self-esteem resting on the size of your thighs, is there? I have about 2 good days a year. And gaining weight on top of this! I can imagine where you're coming from.
I can't imagine too many situations where a doctor would give someone with an eating disorder and no ADD, some dexedrine. But I don't know your situation, and maybe you could handle it.
Counselling helps with eating disorders in the long run.
