Amphetamines: It's dangerous to use amphetamines regardless. You should chat w/your doctor to be sure that benefit outweighs risk. S/he needs to know about all your medication conditions as well as all (non)prescription medications & supplements. It's worrisome to see someone on both amphetamines as well as benzodiazepines (such as klonopin) which act in opposite directions. Be sure all ur docs are on same page.

Bulimia: Unquestionably, you will end up with two major problems, one complicating the other. Would strongly adivice either individual or group psychotherapy, can be very effective in treating bulimia. Best wishes.

Bulimia: If your eating disorder is stabilized with therapy, & your medications are supervised by one doctor, with continued benefits, u should be ok.

Prescribed?: Are you being prescribed these amphetamines, or are you getting them through alternative sources? Your info shows adipex, "amphetamine, " and klonopin (clonazepam). Some with bulimia might use adipex and others to lose weight -- and could wind up with more pervasive difficulties especially combined with klonopin (clonazepam). Are you working with a psychiatrist & psychologist on your eating disorder? Very important.
