Before I go to the doctor

I have been vacillating between high-normal and low-overweight for almost my entire adult life (a couple of times I got down to mid-normal when stuff was going on in my life that prevented me from taking in as many calories). Right now I'm inching towards high-20's BMI and I'd really like to get back down to under 25.

What is making this difficult is I keep getting binge urges. Like, I'll start feeling weak and confused and have a hard time doing anything at work, or driving or concentrating on anything, and then my arms will start to shake, and I'll feel like I am going to faint if I don't eat the entire contents of my pantry. This has been happening to me more and more often lately. I've experimented with fasting in the mornings, NOT fasting in the mornings, adding more protein to my diet, subtracting carbs, adding complex carbs, making sure I take my 10 mg of escitalopram at the same time daily, but nothing seems to be helping.

I feel the need to talk to my doctor about what's going on, but I'm not sure which details are important enough to tell him and which I should leave out. I'm gaining weight not because I don't understand how to lose it but because I can't stop eating and still be able to walk, drive, work, etc.
