I would be so appreciative if some of the great minds here would suggest some meds for my relative who has had an eating disorder literally for her whole life. She has a limited number of foods she will eat and of course, they are all carbs. She will actually will gag on most vegetables or healthy foods. She is seeing a psychologist and will start with a pdoc soon. She suffers from depression which is like a soft bipolar and has terrible PMS as well. Prozac has been helpful for her, but it just isn't enough. She has a very hard time sticking to projects and completing things. I realize that her doctors will have ideas, but we all know that it is a good idea to be an informed patient. I was the one who brought up Zyprexa to MY pdoc and it may possible change my life! I think it would be great for her also, but the appetite stimulation is not something that she can overcome with her limited discipline. She is in her mid-30's and is very unhappy with her inability to overcome her food addiction. Any ideas? Thank you so much, Collette
