Alright...thanks I will mention it to her.
I think it was the first time I went she said that she doesn't push medication(anti-depressants) and she said that unless it is really needed she doesn't really reccommend them. However she really wants me to at least give them a try. She is afraid that when I go back to school it is going to be easy for me to get back into my old habits. I am a bit weary though cuz of the side effects, weight gain and stuff. However I looked em up online and it said that for Prozac some side effects are weight loss and loss of appetite...so I am open to Prozac, all the other ones that I saw said that they can cause weight gain and appetite increase and that scares me. But she did say that the medication will help with the OC of the thoughts and stuff, so I am willing to give it a try, just a bit nervous of the side effects if my doctor doesn't put me on Prozac. thanks though I will talk to her about another dietician.
Take care
Becky
