In studies they used 18g against prozac for ocd and the inositol was better than the prozac!!!
So if you get the right brand you should do good!!! all the forums i have read where people have tried it for anxiety love it.
its also good for SSRI withdrawel and if you have ever responded well to the SSRI'S then inositol should be good.
Also if you dont want to try that take L-TRYPTOPHAN it raises serotonin levels too!! doctors even prescribe it if you have had bad luck with antidepressants for 2 years or more!!
But you can get it on the web.
There was a bad batch in the 80's from japan, but that was a long time ago now and many use it and love it! so try this one if the inositol doesnt work or first of all if u like.They also do 5htp which is like L-tryptophan but the side effects i hear from that can be a horrid!!
dont wanna try that as it can be harsh on the stomach!! and i have a stomach disorder :(Many anxiety probs are related to lack of serotonin as is depression, if your anxiety is due to lack of serotoin then the above should help you!!
oh yeah!! i have have that constant worry too!! it drives me loopy!!! i have tried alot of things, herbs arent any good! apart from velerian for sleep. Liquid kava kava might be great for every now and again!! let me know if you find any of that stuff!!
Just gradually increase the dosages so you dont get too anxious and give it at least 1-2 months to work!!
good luck honey!
