Recommend Ways To Control Excess Weight Gain In Elderly Woman

I binge eat at least daily, my weight has grown to 260lbs. My doctor does not believe in medications for weight control. I am so depressed over this. My Cymbalta does not keep me from being depressed. I struggle daily to survive. Only God and love of my grandkids keeps me alive.

Hello,
I understand your concern and we can definitely help you. Your doctor is right, there is no medication for weight loss. It is combined effect of balanced diet, physical activity and overall wellbeing. I need details regarding your age, height and physical activity if any, medical history and other medications you are taking in order to give recommendation for weight management.
Thanks
