think that SSRIs like Prozac can be used for compulsive behaviour. Obviously not sure what a GP would think appropriate in your situation. Like any GP appointment for flu/thrush/etc there will be an entry in your records. But unless you are in a supersensitive job wouldn't have thought anyone would be asking to access your records anyway. What sort of therapy is available varies a lot from area to area, but if you don't ask, you don't get as it were.
