Thanks for the comments… its really nice to know that there are others around! I did try Cymbalta awhile back, but I didn’t like the way it made me feel emotionally, so that’s why I went for the Naltrexone, since it’s not an anti-depressant. so far I haven’t had a ton of luck with either, though… I would love to know how you do with the Naltrexone, k9!

i was on Cymbalta and it helped a lot - but it was hard to know whether it just happened while I was in relapse mode or what. All i know is that I got in and out of relapse faster whilst on cymbalta. Today I am still on Cymbalta BUT i cannot stop pulling hair this time around - I stopped for a whole week - then BAM!!! here I am again pulling without a care in the world. I feel so down on myself and i have even gone into isolation to keep from people seeing me - but it is not my favorite thing to do. I hope we can both stop pulling.

I just came across your blog when I googled Naltrexone for TTM. I, too, am a puller. I started when I was 11 years old, and I am now 45. There was a period of about 15 years in between when I stopped pulling. I have been pulling steadily now for the past 12 years. I pull my eyelashes, brows and scalp. My psychiatrist has just put me on Naltrexone…I took my first dose about 30 minutes ago. I am curious to see what happens. I am so glad that I found your blog…..very nice to meet you!

Thanks. and yeah, same here, I can always tell when things are getting bad when I’m walking around doing it in public. I certainly NEVER would do that when I was younger, but I guess after so many years it just started becoming more acceptable to me to be doing it or something. arg.
