MamaOnAMission Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I remember someone on this board saying they used one of these for OCD. I was wondering how it worked for you??? and how much you started with. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNN Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 We use it here for anxiety (tryptophan) and depression/focus (tyrosine). My DS10 takes 500mg of each in the morning and my DD takes 250mg of each only on days when she feels a little unsettled. Tryptophan converts into serotonin and then into melatonin. So if you take it at night, theoretically it could help with sleep. We use it in the morning to help with daytime anxiety. It does not help my DS with his OCD. Some say NAC helps with OCD but it doesn't help my son in this respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 IP6 Inosine for OCD and anxiety If you use it you need to gradually work up over time. Starting with 500 mgs - can go as high as 2,000 mgs a day. Also something that can work fast, homeopathic Calms forte - by Hylands ~ no side effects. I have to use 4 tablets crushed up, and add a little water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
