The antidepressant Prozac doesn't help women struggling with anorexia nervosa maintain a normal body weight, and it doesn't reduce their risk of relapsing, a new study found.

This revelation comes after years of prescribing the drug for patients suffering from the life-threatening eating disorder.

"People should not rely on medication which doesn't look terribly effective, but turn their attention to other treatments which may be more useful," said study lead author Dr. B. Timothy Walsh, a professor of psychiatry at New York State Psychiatric Institute at Columbia University Medical Center.

Dr. Onelia G. Lage, an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, added that the finding "makes sense because anorexia is not a medically treated disease. So, yes, you're going to have relapse if the underlying family and psychological function continues to exist."
