I pick my hair out b/c of anxiety. Trichomania. Is there any solutions?

Answer 1

Prozac, Paxil. SSRIs.

AND

Xanax or Klonopin as a side dose.

Find a doctor who won't tell you that you don't need drugs. These are good meds who will help out someone like you. You aren't a junkie. You're pulling your hair out! They are what you need to keep you "normal".

Good luck..

Answer 2

don't eat your hair. i went to a science museum where they had the hairball of a girl who ate her own hair for 6 years, and when they finally had to remove the hairball via surgery, the hairball had taken the shape of her stomach!

Talk to your doctor, there might be anti-anxiety medication he can put you on or something else he can do for you. furthermore, you mgiht want to also see a psychologist for a few sessions, in case there is anything from your childhood or something that was never cleared up that may have lead to your trichomania. good luck!

Answer 3

The actual medical term is Trichitillimania and I had done that for many years. In my case I actually had bald patches. After years of therapy and medication I have stopped doing that for the most part, but I have very long hair that I twist and tie in knots when I am anxious or nervous. The best solution for me was wearing a rubber band on my wrist and snapping it everytime I got the urge to pull my hair. After awhile I didn't have to wear a rubber band anymore.I really hope this helps!

Answer 4

wear really long fake nails that make it much harder and also put ur hair in a pony-tail most the time cuz its harder. also carry around a piece of paper w/ u that says "hair is beauty, keep it"

hope it helps!
