I was just wondering if you knew of anyhting about the drug Lovox
that is being used to treat OCD. I think, if I am correct, it is a relatively
new drug that was developed specifically for OCD. In particular, I was wondering if
you knew if this drug had any success rates with suffers of Trichotillomania. any information
you could pass along would be greatly appreciated.

It's approved only for OCD in the US, but it has been around in Europe as an antidepressant since 1983. It's an SSRI, and probably isn't any more effective than other SSRIs in treating OCD (though it's still effective). Luvox has helped in treating trich.
