Hi,
I'm sure some of you know me from posting on here about the severe religious OCD I have. For those of you who don't know I have been struggling with religious OCD for many years that seems to be getting progressively worse.
I just want to share something with you all that is really odd, good and peculiar from today. I take the vitamin supplement biotin normally at 5,000 mcg daily for my hair. It never relieved any of my OCD symptoms or anything and I wasn't taking it for OCD. I was reading online that you can up the dose, so I decided to take another capsule later in the evening so this way my body wouldn't be overwhelmed by so much biotin at once and flush out the rest. I cannot believe it. Since a little bit after taking it, I have been sitting here for some time right now, and I have been clear headed, mentally calm with only a small amount blasphemous intrusive thoughts. I am really in shock. Normally, they are hitting me left and right; but right now, my brain feels so calm, and so quiet. (I have an estimated 30 - 100 intrusive thoughts daily); granted I only have had the extra biotin in my system for a little while tonight, but I notice a huge reduction in anxiety and intrusive thoughts overall, to the point where it's so starkly different from what I typically experience, that I wanted to write about it. I am going to watch it and see how it goes, but I just wanted to share this. If this continues, I am going to take two capsules a day. I just wanted to share with you all. I am not suggesting that anybody go out and take two 5,000 mcg capsules of biotin a day. I have met some people who cannot handle even 5,000 mcg a dose, and have had unwanted side effects. From what I have read, little toxic effects are shown from taking a higher than normal amount of biotin, but that does not mean it may be safe or healthy for some people. I would suggest if you are going to try it to check with your doctor to see if it is safe for you to even take first, and if it is gradually increasing your dose. I cannot believe this is the effect taking an extra biotin capsule tonight is having on me. I just wanted to share. God bless.
