Has anyone tried using the supplement NAC before? I read it has helped a lot of people, but unsure if this is true!

@Anonymous My psychiatrist advised me to take 2 600 mg in the morning and 2 600 mg in the evening. She also recommended I take Olly for stress. It has a few other natural remedies. I will keep you posted how Olly works as I have just started taking it.

Anyone take myo inositol? I heard it can help with anxiety/ocd/sleep. I’m going to take 1000 mg of it and magnesium supplement at night.

I have, but was taking a dose lower than what the studies showed to be effective, so that's likely why I didn't find it made a difference. This reminded me to try again and set a reminder for myself. Like an adult 😂

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
