I hope people can get Clomipramine.

If your OCD is severe, I pray to God that you can get Clomipramine to slow the OCD down and calm the mind. Clomipramine is a Tricyclic Anti-depressant and has shown to decrease OCD. I believe the nerves are broken and Serotonin and other Neurotransmitters like GABA & Dopamine are not getting across the synapses like they should. However it happened from Vegetarianism which lacks B-12 (needed for nerves) having Methylation issues/MTHFR and having Folate/Issues needing Folate or even emotional abuse not forming brain nerves correctly, our brain is not getting adequate Serotonin. I pray that Doctors figure out better than SSRI's /Tricyclic Anti-Depressants like Clomipramine or however Fluvoxamine works that they can calm the excitatory Neurotransmitter's like Glutamate/Glutamine Acid and Raise the Neurotransmitters of Serotonin/GABA and modulate Dopamine correctly. Just trying to help. People please get on B-12 in any form preferably Methylated until you get the Gut working better and use Methyl-Folate. Cyanocobalmin is actually the most absorbable B-12 but some people's intrinsic factor could be off and need Methylated Forms such as Methyl B-12 or even Hydroxo B-12. B-6, B9 (Folate/Methyl Folate and B-12 vitamins are SO Important in OCD....sorry, I am in overdrive but I just want to get this information out there, I am tired of the damaging effects of OCD. Everyone please hang in there.

Taking Spirulina for about 4 months so far has made a big difference, Spirulina is a cyanobacteria is a good form of B12, much of the literature says Spirulina is analogous B-12 but I don't really believe that. My symptoms getting better with the Spirulina, Co-Enzyme B-12, Methyl Folate, Methyl/Active B-12, Hydroxo B-12 (Both of these B-12's from Seeking Health) and even atlast 1000-2000 mcg daily of Cyanocobalmin now that my gut is working right. B-12 Supplements are very important. If I could get B-12 shots I probably wouldn't take so many B-12 supplements though. The Hydroxy B-12 shot is really good. Maybe other forms are good too. My symptoms are 80% better after probably 4-5 months of taking Spirulina (atleast 5 grams a day, that is 10 500 mg tablets, that's a lot) and the other Methyl B supplements and what not. I take Lecithin and eat eggs all the time for added Choline as this all helps build the Myelin Sheath. I am working on trying to get Deplin again as this is a Pharmaceutical grade of Methy-Folate, Methyl Folate is almost as important as B-12, they both make DNA and help the Nerves/Myelin Sheath. This all helps Serotonin and other Neurotransmitters work better. I saw a thing online about Spirulina and Vitmin B Complex building the Myelin Sheath up to help OCD. It is online. You also need your Cholesterol to be atleast 170 to build the Myelin Sheath up so eat a lot of Eggs and even Steak. Too much Cholesterol is bad for the blood vessels/arteries but Cholesterol isn't necessarily this evil thing some make it out to be. Some of our brain is made up of Cholesterol.....I'd say I am finally a functioning OCD Sufferer with all this and the Clomipramine, oh yeah, Black Seed Oil helps too as it helps calm the Central Nervous System. I have had Severe OCD for ears, POCD, HOCD, Pet OCD, Scrupulocity, "Pure OCD", some forms of Perfection OCD. I was extremely low in B12 and have the MTHFR Gene so I wasn't utilizing Folate correctly in the Body. It has been a long journey but I am slowly overcoming my OCD. Don't get me wrong Supplements are good and are helping to rebuild my brain and the Probiotics ate helping to re-build my Gut (The 2nd Brain) but atleast 50-75% of the Success is deliberately Contributed to the Clomipramine and SSRI's I am on. I was a walking nutcase....sorry if that sounds bad, but I felt so bad at one time I didn't want to leave my room. All Glory to God for helping me and helping me find this place. I hope this information helps and God Bless everyone, I will share more and let me know if I missed anything. I am finally to the point where I am pretty much not scared around kids and most of the time can fight the homosexual thoughts and feel mostly normal. B12 helps Neurotransmitters along with Testosterone, it is horrible in more than one way to be a Vegetarian in my opinion. Anyway, I think this is enough for now much Peace to you.

@Anonymous Thank you so much for this. I’m going to order some stuff today. My psychologist wants me to do the gene site testing to see if I have the MYHFR gene which may explain why the medications aren’t working for me. I’m curious to see what it says. Right now I’m on adderall - 20 mg XR (recently diagnosed with ADHD- combined type) and I started taking my clomipramine again yesterday. I’m at 50 mg. What other SSRIs are you on? And no it doesn’t sound bad. I feel like a walking head case right now. Any little thing can trigger me and send me spiraling. I’ve had all of the different types of ocd (sexual orientation ocd, harm ocd, pure ocd, contamination ocd, etc.) but the one I’ve been stuck on the past five years or so is relationship OCD and this past week it got really bad. I was so scared it was going to flare up again and I’d have another complete mental breakdown like i did in college 10 years ago. Sorry for the long post just nice that someone gets it.

Hi- I was on Clomipramine for over a year. I told my psychiatrist it wasn’t really helping at all. Long story short- he left the office he was at and my new NP told me I could just stop taking it. So I did. Worse side effects ever and now guess what? My OCD is back and it’s really bad. It hasn’t been this bad in a long time. So now I feel stupid for ever mentioning coming off of it. And now I’m scared to ask to go back on it.

Wow, the only OCD medications I am familiar with is Clomipramine and Fluvoxamine. Yes, it is difficult to talk to Psychiatrist about OCD issues, it can be kind of scary. You can also Co-enzyme B Complex or Methyl B Complex with Spirulina powder to see if that helps lessen your OCD symptoms....there are probiotics for your gut as well....there are many things to try, I can try to help ok?

@Anonymous Can I ask what brand of the b complex? I’ve heard of this and my psychologist mentioned me getting gene testing to see what medications work best and also to see if I have some genetic issue to where my body can’t absorb the medication correctly? Have you heard of this?

@Ashhh91 The one I use is Co-Enzyme B-Complex from Country Life, it is pretty good but there may be ones better. Someone on here talked about Methyl B Complex and basically getting Methyl-Folate and Methyl B-12 in these forms is a good start. Getting the other B vitamins in their activated forms is helpful too such as the activated form of B6 which is P5P, Pyrixol-5-Phosphate I believe? Anyway, the gut is probably not in the best shape for many OCD Sufferers so work on the Gut with Probiotics, Yogurt, Kefir and thing like Kim-Chi. Sauerkrut and Kombucha too,this will also help body absorb vitamins better anyway.

What kind of benefits have you personally experienced from these supplements? And how long did it take to notice?

Username: AnonymousAnonymous

It took 5 months to notice these benefits butI am still healing. I Have had OCD symptoms for 15-16 years but and have taken a lot of Supplements but finally getting the SSRI's right (200 mg/max of Sertraline) 40 mg of Fluoxetine, 8 mg of Perphenazine and 150 mg of Clomipramine has done a lot, I may need to go higher on the Clomipramine maybe as the OCD is not completely knocked out....but I have to say adding the Spirulina the last 5 months and eating more Steak and Eggs has helped a lot too. I am a ig fan of Turmeric and Ashwhagandha too. Please hang in there and may God be with you.

Supplements for Mental Health?

Hey everyone! Sending love and support for all of you managing your OCD (We’ve got this!!). I’ve had a very rough week— I just tried out Prozac and had an AWFUL physical + mental response to it, so I am going off of it after about 9 days. My spirals have taken an intense physical toll on me and it’s been extremely hard to eat properly/stomach anything. I am curious about the holistic health end of things. Does anyone have experience with taking magnesium supplements and/or multivitamins to help deal with stress and anxiety? How have they made you feel, and have they helped ease your mind a little? Any recommendations? How do you deal with the physical effects of your OCD?
