Hi, I'm new to this site. I've been pulling for over 10 years now and am so close to giving up. I recently ordered Rogaine for Women, and I'm wondering if anyone else with trichotillomania has used rogaine to help with the re-growth of the hair you have pulled out?

Thanks =]

" from what i've heard about rogaine, i learned that if you start using it that you will have to keep using it to keep the hair growing. now that is for someone who is actually losing hair due to natural causes. for those like us, it is not a good treatment because what we grow back we will pull anyway. so they key is to focus on the pulling..... if someone has tried and and has a different outlook, please share.....

" there's plenty of times where i want to give up too but it looks so bad & stresses me even more so i have to keep trying. i haven't tried rogaine but maybe it works. i've been in the service for almost 10 yrs now & i started plucking my lashes in the 6th grade. over the years, off & on i just keep plucking & it's more than embarassing. i just can't stop.
