lybrate-user I am very sorry to hear about your condition. Do you think a habit an obsession can be cured by medication? I don't think so. You are too obsessed with your looks, appearance and health and it seems to have gone out of your control now and it is controlling you. additionally you require erp therapy to understand your triggers of skin picking .with erp you can be trained to become more self aware of your behaviour and know how to calm your compulsion to pick your skin. Anxiety is the undercurrent that shall go away with time. You can contact a good clinic nearby that provides erp therapy. You shall recover and shall definitely be in a far better place with lesser intake of medicines.

Dear lybrate-user, of course, it is difficult to live with ocd for 20 years. Your doctor is going methodically with low dose of tablets and slowly increasing the dose. Right now you are still on low dose of fluvoxamine and serlift. It will be increased to 400 mg in due course. Be hopeful that you have decided to take treatment instead of suffering with ocd. Meet the same doctor frequently so that optimum dose can be fixed.

Write down your obsessive thoughts or worries. Keep a pad and pencil on you, or type on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet. When you begin to obsess, write down all your thoughts or compulsions. Keep writing as the ocd urges continue, aiming to record exactly what you're thinking, even if you're repeating the same phrases or the same urges over and over. Writing it all down will help you see just how repetitive your obsessions are. Writing down the same phrase or urge hundreds of times will help it lose its power. Writing thoughts down is much harder work than simply thinking them, so your obsessive thoughts are likely to disappear sooner.

Dear user you didn't mention your age, don't be so tensed, relax there is a solution for every problem. If these medicines are not helpful try any other Dr. But you should take medicine only for sometime, with medicine you need counseling as well so that you would be able to taper your medicines after sometime and learn how to manage or control your thoughts on your own.
