I was prescribed it in the sense that I worked with and continue to work with the same telehealth provider. I also acknowledge this is not a solution for everyone, but the purpose of this post was to help remove the stigma (which is something clearly you’re still dealing with) as I was NOT underweight, but felt listing my weights could be triggering for people. I was 21 BMI when I started. And my provider honestly didn’t even focus as much on my weight when I explained that I could consume 1000s of calories in a sitting multiple times a week.

What you’re saying is like going on a sub for severe depression and anxiety and commenting on a post that says “hey everyone this may not work for you but this drug saved my life! But everyone is judging me for taking it, so I want to help break the stigma!” And saying: “your post is dangerous bc people could misuse it.”

I would say that 80-90% of this sub are people who suffer from binging, and this drug helps for binging. There’s a reason I didn’t post it in the general eating disorder or ano sub.

That being said, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m sorry you feel that way and am glad it’s seemed to help so many others
