Dukarm, Carolyn Piver
- Abstract
Bulimia nervosa and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) share several key features, including impulsivity and low self-esteem. Stimulant medications have been highly effective in the treatment of ADHD. However, medication management of bulimia with antidepressants has demonstrated only partial resolution of bulimic symptoms. To date, there are no published reports of controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of stimulants for bulimia. The purpose of this paper is to report 6 patients with comorbid bulimia and ADHD who were treated with the stimulant medication, dextroamphetamine.
