Meds for cutting?
I haven't cut since March, but I continue to think about it a lot and have impulses and such. When I saw my psychiatrist (I have bipolar type 2) on Thursday, I asked him if there was anything we could do so I don't think about cutting myself all the time. He suggested that the cutting was more of an OCD thing for me (in part because I didn't start cutting until I was 25 and wasn't sexually abused as a child, thus not fitting the profile) and prescribed a low dose of Zoloft (to go with my Lithium, Risperdal, Wellbutrin, and Valium). I've taken it once so far, so I can't really report on its success. I was just wondering if anyone else had tried meds to reduce cutting impulses and if anything worked.
