Is Rx medication ever OK to use when ongoing dieting results in Binging?

So, here is the question I pose. Mind you all, I am not an advocate either way. I just want to see the different thought processes out there.

If you are an individual who has legitimately been struggling with weight loss and weight gain for a long period of time. Whatever, the pattern of time doesn't matter. But you struggle keeping your weight down or keeping focused or motivated to stay the course. When is it OK to go to your doctor and ask for support? There are medications for
high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, etc. Is there really any shame attached to saying we need additional support to aid our addiction. And, yes I know there is no magic pill, but I find that I can't continue living like this. I gain weight, I lose weight. I over examine and become obsessed when on a diet. And if I get derailed, forget it. I may not get back on track for another (who knows) it could be 2 weeks or 2 months. Then I eat haphazardly because I
know that one day soon I will be starting another diet. I feel like in addition to eating right and exercise I need additional support to keep my mind right. I don't want to think about food every minute of the day. I hope I am making sense. No heated debated please, just your objective opinions.
