Suggest Treatment For Binge Eating Disorder
I have a binge eating disorder and would like to get help with vyvanse. I live in a small town and really don t want to discuss my eating disorder with my doctor or anyone else for that matter. Is the there a way to get a prescription online so I don t have to discuss the eating disorder with the same people I see at the grocery store, church, etc.?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Binge eating disorder is characterized by compulsive over-eating.
However, there is nothing to be ashamed of or to be guilty of.
Binge disorder can be cured but you need to consult a psychiatrist for it.
Treatment for binge eating does not include medication thus it cannot be treated on line.
Treatment is mainly psychological and behavioral.
Medications have no role in binge eating.
Behavioral therapy helps to control the compulsive action of over-eating.
It also helps to overcome the feelings of guilt.
Thanks and take care
