Now.: If you're already feeling "addicted" that is serious. With the length and frequency of the purging, you might already experience some problems such as weakness and dizziness due to electrolyte imbalance, mouth sores, even tooth decay, sore throat, loss of menses. You need to get help now. In some cases, you could have rupture of the stomach and esophagus.
