Abstract

The comorbidity of bulimia and substance abuse is significant. The substance that is abused may vary and the abuse potential for nonillicit substances may be overlooked. This paper presents the first case reported of dextromethorphan abuse and bulimia. It demonstrates the complexity of assessment and treatment of bulimia and substance abuse of over-the-counter medications.
