I have had ocd for about 15 years./ mine is mainly contamination based, which really sucks with all the washing./cleaning. anyway... I just started taking inositol and it has really helped. I wonder why I don't read about people taking this.
For me, much better mood. More calm, even during triggers. Easy to sleep. I can tell my habits are still there. but, my mind is not focused on ocd. a month ago i couldn't even wash my hands "correctly". that task would take at least an hour straight. so, i gave up on that and just resorted to taking showers and avoiding anything that would make me wash. the thought of washing my hands frightened me because of the fear that i would never be able to stop washing them. Boom! within weeks of taking inositol. i can wash them much like a normal person.
I'm not perfect, but this stuff is great so far. side effects for me are gas and sometimes loose poopy. I was getting very depressed from my latest ocd spike, but my mood is very much improoved.
I'm rambling. but i wanted to hear from anyone else that has tried this stuff.
