Cool. Thanks, jamie. I read a somewhat discouraging message from a doctor posted in Dr. Bob's tips, where he said he
tried inositol on a number of patients and got no results. I also saw a paper where inositol was used as an augmentation
of SSRI treatment in refractory OCD, and again there were no significant benefits. I left a message with my most recent
pdoc (not the one I am seeing for the study, but an OCD specialist at Mass General) to ask for his opinion, and to see if
he has tried it. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but if it's cheap, easy, and safe, what have I got to lose?> Adam, the 500mg capsules are available at most healthfood stores. I think the powder in juice method sounds more realistic though. I've seen the powder at healthfood stores too. I only tried it for a few days, so I cannot report much on it. It did boost energy a lot and cut my appetite. You have me re-interested though, maybe I'll go buy some more. It's cheap.
