There is an ADHD medicine that has been known to help with Binge Eating Disorder and its called Vyvanse. However, I was on it and I didn't think it worked. What I did instead was start living in the moment. When I start to grab something I ask myself am I hungry, is this healthy for me, will it be worth the guilt? Then if I am hungry I do eat, but if not I replace it with another activity.

I just started taking Topamax for bipolar depression. It really curbs my appetite a lot and from what I read about it, it can be prescribed for binge eating. **Talk to your doctor** and read up on the side effects first! I got major anxiety and irritability. Had to take a low dose of another med to combat it, but everyone's different. Good luck 😃
