Anxiety and Fear
Hi Doctor,
I suffer from Trichotillomania since the age of 8. Am in treatment for last 5 years but now developed with Bipolar Disorder too. 99.9 % of depressive phase. Am taking Fluoxitine 20mg and Lithosun 400 with sleeping pills. Trichotillomania resulted with bald spots and now even after stopping hair pulling my anxiety is in same level. I fear much about my condition. No job for last 7 years. Feeling alone. I tried Fluoxitine 20 mg to 80 mg perday. But no result. Very anxious and scared. I feel like tablets are not working. Please help.
Thanks.

You need to change your medication for this issue as fluoxetine at this dose alone is not working properly. It can be controlled at a better level and you should feel better if modified.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist... and do regular follow ups.
