Abstract:
The results of a small study using fluoxetine in the treatment of bulimia nervosa are presented. Ten subjects were treated on an open basis with fluoxetine 60-80 mg daily. Seven subjects stopped their bulimic behaviour completely, two improved and one was unchanged. The results indicate that fluoxetine may have a role in the treatment of bulimia and that further investigation is warranted. A brief review of other drug studies on bulimia nervosa is presented.
