> 2 magnesium (300-400mg) (magnesium hydroxide or magnesium oxide - NO magnesium
> aspartate, taurate or gluconate pls)Why hydroxide or oxide?? These are two of the most poorly absorbed forms of magnesium.
> 5 vitamin C (time released 2000mg buffered C - the total time release is about 16 hours if taken in the morning and evening) Try not to take fresh orange juice as it contains folic acid and too little vitamin C (50mg only)50mg of vitamin C per 8 oz is hardly too little vitamin C.

I'd like to see some studies of this also. 5-HT2 blockers can worsen OCD, though, yes.
Sorry, not trying to be demeaning here, just wanted to clarify a few things and have you clarify a few things. I also suffer from OCD, so I can sympathize. Good luck.
