"the best drug for trichotillomania to me. 

it can&#039;t be said more about the pain, torture, anxiety, shame, and ... that come with constantly pulling your hair out from your scalp. i used to also constantly pull/scratch the skin out from my outer ear! before i stopped picking, i have developed 6 &quot;devastated battlefields&quot; on my head and both outer ears where nothing but constant bleeding is noticed. i started lamotrigine for quite a while. it first did little to my trich. in the meantime, i was also on several different ssri and one snri. however, after i upped my dose to 125 mg (qd), the scratching immediately went away the day right after i upped my dosage!!! my anxiety  is now lower for the first time in years!"
