​Stop picking skin

Stop picking skin

Skin picking disorder is occasionally treated with some psychiatric drugs, but none of them are FDA-approved or well-established for this use. The best-researched family of medications for skin picking is called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), which includes Prozac.

Early research has already started to look into the potential benefits of several anticonvulsant drugs like Lamictal (lamotrigine) and some dietary supplements like N-acetyl cysteine. Even naltrexone, an opioid blocker, has been the subject of studies. These can help you stop picking your skin.
