Week 7 on Prozac - 2 1/2 weeks pull free with TTM

My 7th week on Prozac - The bad things are that I still do sleep alot (about 10 hours daily) however I do feel very rejuvenated and alert when I am awake. My thoughts are still racing, but I can control it if I focus on breathing and meditating techniques.

The greatest things are that I AM NOT PULLING OUT ANY HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also feel very good about myself, I also feel so much less anxiety in any situation (ie getting a bagel at starbucks and putting cream cheese on it in front of someone to walking into a restaurant alone, or walking in the dark). I feel great. Please talk to your doctor and see if an anti depressant can help you with your Trichotillomania.

I want to go back on prozac it's honestly the only thing that ever worked for me but I'm really really scared because I want to have kids someday how am I going to do that if I'm on medication I feel really hopeless and helpless. But I have to go back on because this depression and the pain that comes with it is absolutly terrible. I want to live again this is dieing slowly not living.

I have that problem of skin-peeking too. This is my 9 months on Prozac and I'm telling. I'm feeling... good. I'm not peeling my face as much as before. I use to have a biiiiig appetite and it has been reduces (a little) because of the side effects. I hope it keepon reducing appetite since I'm a little fatty and I need help with that. I'm not paying attention to my pimples and blackheads, I'm not eating my nails like I was doing and it makes me feel a little proud... so lets see...

@harrymerchant456 Will power will not stop the urges. OCD (etc) is not something that just goes away with willpower.

@zealot316 No one wants to hear your bullshit, go away.
