From what I understand, compulsive behavior stems from anxiety. Alot of SSRI anti depressants can initially cause anxiety even if that's what they're being used to treat. I would let your doc know and maybe together you can decide if its really hunger or anxiety or what, then you can go from there. He might give you Xanax or something like that until the initial anxiety passes, or he may want to switch you to something less stimulating altogether. I know some anti depressants can be more stimulating, while some are more calming. Hope this helps.
