One thought: Note that you are already on Adderall xr, Dexedrine and Lexapro (escitalopram) and have behavior therapy. Doubt that you need more meds in your system. Have you considered acupuncture? The appetite suppression protocol (auricular) works quite well. Depression can also be treated (as an adjunct to your current treatment plan). Take care.

Several: You are already on several good medications. I wonder if topamax (topiramate) (an anticonvulsant) can help bulimia and anxiety as well as stabilize mood.It is very helpful but needs to be used carefully.
