Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple studies have found that SSRIs, such as fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft), provide significant relief from symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder and pain disorders, compared to placebo. Anticonvulsants and antianxiety drugs may also be helpful in some cases, but these have not consistently shown greater efficacy than placebo. Marijuana type drugs may be useful for pain relief, but their effects on body dysmorphic disorder are unknown and they may have undesirable side effects.
