" There is nothing wrong with you! I'm on meds also and I still get really really bad urges. How long have you been on your meds? I've been on mine for about a month and 1/2 and for the first few weeks I did a lot better but these past couple weeks have been a constant struggle! I'm here if you need someone to talk to. "

" I have only been on my meds for one week at this point but I take one at night (Remerom) and another (Vistaril) 3 times a day but it has helped a lot but I still can't stop the cutting I reopened the cut on my arm from last week last night after it had been a week scince I cut last night. "
