I don't have any experience with Luvox or Anafranil but my daughter also pulled out her hair until lately. She takes BuSpar for her anxiety and anxiety-stimulated behavior. She has stopped pulling out her hair, washing her hands contsantly, brushing her teeth 30x a day ect.. since the 4th week on the BuSpar.
This past weekend her Great-Grandma had a surprise 80th birthday party and my daughter didn't have her meds since friday night. By Sunday night her hands were absolutely raw from washing them and she was pulling out her hair again. I was not pleased with the grandparents not giving her the meds but tried not get too riled up because it was a special occasion. Anyway, I didn't think the meds would wear off that quickly so I don't know if the stress caused a relapse or missing the meds did. Since her second of the missed pills she has stopped though.
Well, Good luck to you and your daughter. My only experience with anything that has worked for Trich is the BuSpar.
