Thanks JLx for the info on the studies. I seem to experience more anxiety/depression than ocd. But I am pretty sure it is all serotonin related in my case and inositol has been shown to help resenitize serontin receptors.
I have been taking inositol at about 10 grams a day so far. The first few days I felt very much how I felt like when I was first on effexor (my jams would get tight and tense), so it almost seems like it might be having some action on serotonin like effexor. no luck on reduced anxiety or feeling "normal" yet. It has only been a week, so I will report back later.
I would try just around a gram a day, as that study and that doctor said it can be effective...but I also read somewhere that we get around a gram of inositol daily in our diet anyway, so I don't know how much more effective only a gram would be. But I have also read another study saying that 6 grams a day is effective as well, so I might cut back a little. Who knows though...thanks again for the input, hope you are feeling alright.
