i have been battling this since i was raped and my dad died back in 1991 :/ it still bothers me but i want to stop having Trichophagia as we know it hurts ...
I am writing to let you know that there is a cure for this disorder, it is an amino acid called NAC or N-Acetyl Cysteine, a vitamin supplement. I have been taking NAC for the last 3 months and my pulling stopped within a few days of taking it. It is not very expensive, is all natural, has no side effects, and also has other benefits such as antioxidant protection, as well as helping skin and hair. I take 1200 mg. a day. You can find it on the Web as well as in any vitamin store.
If you are going to take it, also take 2-3x as much Vitamin C as well. Meaning, if you are taking 1200 mg, then take at least 2400 mg of Vitamin C. NAC detoxifies the body and if Vitamin C is not taken, you could get kidney stones. Again, I have had absolutely NO side effects, and actually my hair is a lot healthier.
There is hope for this problem. Perhaps you'd like to try the NAC and see how you do. The dosage is 1200 mg but studies have shown that 1800 and 2400 mg are sometimes needed. You can try 1200 mg for 2 weeks and then see if you feel you need to increase the dosage.
If you have any questions, just let me know.
Best wishes,
Debbi
