i've been on prozac for almost a year now for dermatillomania. it worked at first, but now i need to get the dosage increased. i used to just pick and pick and not realize it, but now since i'm on meds for it, i'm aware that i'm doing it and i can stop. but, in times of stress, i can't stop at all. i'm on 20 mg as well. my psych said that it won't help if i'm stressed out.

Thanks so much for that reply!!! So far the prozac has helped but I have heard from people that they need to increase the dosage over time. I am on 20 mil and so far its helping....not 100 % yet but better than nothing!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
