    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      I starting pulling at 14. (Just after losing my virginity--related? who knows?) I began experiencing symptoms of depression around that time, too. (typical adolescnence-who knows?) At 14 I also began to experiement with drugs/alcohol. I eventually became an all out drug addict. I did not get any form of treatment until years later after the birth of my second child. I have been clean and sober for 11 years. I am currently on Zoloft.

      Treatments

      Zoloft Too Soon to Tell
      I have been on zoloft for 2 years. It helps with anxiety/depression but doesn't seem to help with the hair pulling. I have JUST started seeing a therapist.
      Behavior Management Too Soon to Tell
      This was several years ago and I didn't stick with it--my therapist moved after only 3 weeks or so of treatment.
      Effexor Not Working
      He helped somewhat with depression but was very up and down for me. It had no effect on he pulling.
    • Close Anxiety

      My anxiety is not really fear-based as I hear so many describe but sometimes I just feel super super tense.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Clonazepam Working / Worked
