I can't stop pulling..I'm starting to feel helpless
Just started 2400 mg NAC a week ago but still pulling. Trying 5 Htp and going to start Taurine soon
Trying whatever I can to help but not sure..
I've been avoiding taking any medications as I prefer all natural.. the main drug I've researched that may help with this may cause significant weight gain as it is an antipsychotic..zyprexa
other meds increase norepinephrine..which can aggravate anxiety I already have..
any advice..any hope..
this pulling goes on all day and is causing so much stress

The few times I've used inositol it has really helped me. Maybe that's worth a shot after giving NAC a few more weeks? Cutting out sugar, caffeine and yeast has helped me in the past as well.
Hope you find something that helps you. Sometimes just coming on this site and venting can help a lot.
