Does anyone have any good experience with alternative/natural medicine for OCD? I cannot tolerate SSRIs, but I use xanax to help control my anxiety. I had a rough spike last night...I was really mad that my body reacted with a shot of adrenaline and fear right in my stomach to a thought that kind of escalated to a point where I thought it felt like an agressive urge trying to release a thought I was probably subconciously trying to control...Trying to suppress the thought only makes it stronger and only makes the urge to think it stronger. Bad Combo.....I know I could have dismissed the thought so much easier if I didn't get that shot of anxiety. I am really annoyed at my brain for reacting.
Does anyone know if Inositol can really help OCD? I read about this and it said that it can help. I am trying to take St. John's wort now. I also heard that drinking whey protein shakes has L-Tyrosine in it which can help boost serotonin. I assume if I can balance out my seratonin, my anxiety response may decrease?
Thanks for listening.
