A member asked:

Which would you try first for binge eating if wellbutrin (bupropion) didn't work. prozac or zoloft? which has better results and which is safer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several options.: Generally speaking Prozac (fluoxetine). However, I do not know the source of your problem. I would suggest you get with a mental health professional and figure this out. In addition, many people with this problem have been helped by Overeaters Annomous.
