I pulled every day since I was 15 years old until I started on abilify this past summer. I honestly thought I would pull every day for the rest of my life (or until I was completely bald). Sometimes I still can't believe that I don't pull anymore.
Have you ever tried abilify? What meds have you tried? Have any of them decreased your hair-pulling?
p.s. what were you studying in university? what year were you in?
