Lamictal??

[Kim R]

Hi everyone,

I noticed a week or two ago an article saying that lamictal was used in a very small clinical study for skin picking, and the found that a large number {16 out of 20} either stopped or slowwed considerably. The other 4 had no effect. I am going to talk to my doctor about it and see if I can atleast try and see if it will work for me. If I remember the dosing it started around 50mg up to 300 if I remember correctly.

So has anyone else heard of this, tried it? Please reply.

Regards
Kim

Hi Kim,

Hope you are still here. Has your doctor prescribed Lamictal and has it helped. How are you doing. My sister suffers from severe skin picking and scratching. Looking for help.
