A member asked:
Can an appetite suppressant be prescribed just temporarily to help someone who compulsively overeats and binge eats to start losing weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Compulsive eating: Medication w/out a physical exam by your doc would not treat the condition, only symptoms. Please see your doctor. He/she may refer you to a bariatrician (weight doctor) if needed. Compulsive behaviors are treated by clinical psychologists, which may be part of your solution. Peace and good health.
