It does, and I do (or did) it too. FWIW, I found zoloft to be good at preventing the urge, to the point that my department secretary at work said I have beautiful nails! :-) Before zoloft, every time I tried to stop, it got worse in a couple of weeks. I tried all the standard reconditioning techniques as well: snapping a rubber band on my wrist whenever I felt the urge, painting my nails with a *really awful* tasting polish, wearing gloves, etc. Nothing helped until zoloft. As always, YMMV.
