In reply to nervous habit medication, posted by MichaelJr on March 7, 2004, at 23:30:40
Sorry, I don't know the name for the drug, but I wanted to tell you that you aren't alone. As to a different embarrassing habit, my ex-husband had a habit of *pinching* or *twitching* at himself through his pants pockets. He would wear holes through his underclothes.
He was a very good-looking, and intelligent man. A neat freak and anal-rentative about everything. I guess he was too stressed trying to be perfect.
I don't know if it falls under OCD. If so, maybe Paxil might help?
Lotsof Luck to you.
KDi> Well I have a nervous habit, that I'm not going to share caus it's embarassing, but it's similar to picking at skin or biting nails obsessively. I can't really stop, and I do it constantly, and it relieves some of the anxiety I have.

> So I read that there is a medication for this. What is it? And is it bad with side effects? I'm just starting respirdal, and don't want another major drug. Thanks, Mike
