title: [Chemotherapy in the treatment of bulimic behaviors].
abstract: Bulimia has been treated with various drugs. MAOI and heterocyclic non MAOI antidepressants have proved efficacious in controlled studies. Whereas Benzodiazepines, Lithium and antiepileptic medications appear less promising or have not yet been widely assessed in methodologically valid studies. Serotoninergic compounds are particularly specific of bulimic disorders. The links of bulimia with depressive states are briefly discussed.
