Hi,
I have a disorder known as BDD- or Body Dysmorphic Disorder- its related to OCD, only involves severe and persistant obsessions about perceived defects in appearance. I recently tried Paxil, but stopped after 8 days because I was flushing so severely that I looked badly sunburned! Not good, since my particular BDD preoccupation is with my skin! I am going to talk to my doctor tomorrow about Lexapro or Celexa. Anyone tried these, and if so, any side effects that were unacceptable? I can't take the flushing, so if it happens with the others, I will just try some other approach to treating this disorder. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
