Psychotherapy, meds: The primary treatment for bulimia nervosa is psychotherapy (talk therapy). This may involve individual, family, or group psychotherapy. Often, optimal treatment involves multiple types of psychotherapy simultaneously. Medications such as Prozac (fluoxetine) are sometimes used as part of the treatment, but, ideally, the treatment should not be medication only.
