"It takes a while to get used to the drug, it will make your OCD spike a few times. I also have severe anxiety, and it may raise it a bit. Overall, pretty good for trichotillomania. I have a head full of hair since January 2017."

"I've had trichotillomania ever since I remember. As soon as my hair was able to reach my mouth, I started to bite off my hair until high school, and I transitioned to pulling out my hair. My hair became so thin, and I had bald spots and constantly got made fun of for my thin hair. Sophomore year, I began to see a psychiatrist for this, and he prescribed me fluoxetine and lamotrigine. I have never told anyone my condition except my family and psychiatrist. I started off my dosage very low and worked them up to the highest mg possible. I am now a freshman in college, and my hair is almost as thick as it was before I started pulling. I am no longer made fun of for my hair. I still pull, but a lot less than I ever did. The medicines also helped with my depression."
