> My Sx are mainly pulling my eyebrow hairs and skin picking and rubbing of my face and neck.
My symptoms are continually twisting, knotting and then pulling out my hair, I think this falls under the spectrum to TTM. I have found no meds have ever effected this. I have taken various antipsychotics and they havent had an effect, neither benzos nor antidepressants. I have never considered taking something specifically for hair pulling though. These days I am resigned to the fact that its something I must live with. I think I am getting better though when I was younger I used to continually pull large chunks out to the point where the hair at the front of my head now grows distorted however now I am can usually get away with small knots and I dont always have to pull them out.
Best regards Bunny
