Elizabeth, I mean that I started having carbohydrate cravings again and being hungry. What sets me off is the time of day--I know that it is 3 PM without even looking at a clock because that is when I get the overwhelming desire to binge. I never binge except between 3 and about 7 or 8 PM. When I was younger, I used to try to vomit and
"undo" the damage, but as I got fatter and fatter, it seemed hopeless and I gave that up.My old cat developed diabetes and renal failure at the time the diet quit working on my appetite. I am sure the stress of having to deal with the daily shots and knowing he will die within a year is what set me off. I have never tried Wellbutrin. Maybe that would help. Probably Topamax is being hyped for binge eating disorder by Johnson & Johnson when it is really not that effective.
