[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 303891, member: 2423"] Skin picking is a form of anxiety. Think Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) spectrum. Skin picking can be exacerbated by or even start with stimulants. If it's exacerbated by an SSRI, then the SSRI is having a paradoxical effect. FWIW, I like to say that my three kids have various flavors of mood disorders. They absolutely don't all have bipolar disorder (and in fact, may not end up having BiPolar (BP) dxes as adults). But they are all ending up on various combos of mood stabilizers, APs and ADs and working toward very good mood stability. So it's worth considering when you talk to the psychiatrist about your difficult child 1. [/QUOTE]
