Oxcarbazepine for the treatment of trichotillomania.

Clin Neuropharmacol 33(2):107-8 (2010) PMID 20375658

There is no pharmacological treatment of trichotillomania that has consistently demonstrated efficacy, although good results have been obtained with antidepressants and other drugs such as atypical antipsychotics, bupropion, lithium, and topiramate. The anticonvulsant oxcarbazepine has also been used as mood stabilizer and has been tested for treating binge eating, but there is no report on oxcarbazepine in trichotillomania.
