Does anyone have experience? I have been taking 60 mg prozac for 2 years (chronic bulimia nervosa) and was totally symptom free, now it all returned. I am weaning off right now and wonder if , after a break, I can go on again and it may work. It has some side effects but they are all worth it for it to go away. Any info on this particular topic is appreciated. And, please, don't suggest therapy, I have had all of it including hospital stays and 5 years of psychoanalysis, and maxed out on all this a long time ago.. Peace!

If your being weaned off the meds i think its best to continue. I personally would look into a medication that can be taken sparingly when you need it. I myself take a mild anti-anxiety medication, but only when im about to break down.
Drug dependence is a horrible thing. I honestly think 2 years on prozac is too much. I also reccomend looking into some self stress/anxiety managment techniques. I find that yoga, limiting my sleep, and spending time in nature or with my pets all helps.
Recovering from an eating disorder is a constant battle, but not an impossible one. Good luck!0
