Actually I take Prozac 60 mg. The usual dose is 20 - 40mg. My pdoc said at higher doses Prozac is known to help obsessive compulsive tendencies. It has helped some with the picking, but I feel like there has to be something better out there because I still obsessively worry and repeat things over and over in my head – both of which are OCD related. I have heard (on this board) that Effexor works well for the picking. I don't know from experience though.
