      Luvox (generic name Fluvoxamine) is used for OCD. I've heard of some success with it in the TTM community.

        @AmberSpark I take fluvoxamine and I love it for anxiety. It makes a world of a difference. But it doesn't actually help with the hair pulling for me, even if I up the dose. I've tried a lot of medications and the only medication I've tried that helps with the trichotillomania is mirtazapine. It took me from about 100 hairs per day down to zero today and one yesterday.

          @Heatherbee I'm still taking fluvoxamine for anxiety though, it's really a lifesaver.

      I take luvox for my OCD also but all it does is make me so angry. All I do is yell at my boyfriend about the small things that he is OCD about because it interferes with my OCD.

        @eee2342 man I'm sorry, you might want to ask to try a different medication. There are other ones for OCD if that one's not really helping. Sometimes you have to try a few before you find one you like.
