Has anyone been prescribed meds for BED that have a BMI <27?

Hi,

Wondering if anyone has been prescribed medication via NHS or privately for their BED - not talking GLP1's like Mounjaro etc as I fall well below the criteria and am aware of the risks. More looking for something to help with my food preoccupation and to help keep cravings at bay.

I know some medications are commonly used in the US but not here but I'd heard of people using Mysimba and ADHD drugs in the UK?

Wondering if anyone is using them, how they were prescribed if you didn't have a high BMI? I'm a lifelong BED sufferer (despite only just falling into the overweight category with my BMI) and I'm really, really struggling at the moment. Thanks so much
