Answer

Hi there ,

 

Welcome to Just answer !

 

Well, Bulimia is an eating disorder , and needs to be treated with a combnation of 1 anti depressant such as prozac ( fluoxetine ) and Psychotherapy that is counseling in lay term such as Cognitive behavioural therapy ( CBT ) , which is offered by a psychologist. Both these will help you from preventing the cravings that you have , and also change your mind set , by altering your thinking process

 

Kindly see the link below for better understanding og the treatment regime for bulimia , and please let me tellyou that rimonaband , has been discontinued in most countires because of its side effects , so kindly do not use it .
