Vitamin d
I know this is probably far out but has anyone ever tried vitamin d to feel better? I am deficient at 13, just wondering if anyone has looked into it being a cause?

I got labs done prior to being diagnosed with OCD and I was low in Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D….I just started taking them yesterday so hopefully that helps but I had also read that being low in both could have something to do with it, not sure how true or untrue it is though. I just hope it helps!

@Anonymous Yes I’m super deficient in vitamin d never thought to check vitamin b12 but I’ve seen people say things about that as well they let me know I had low vitamin d like 2 years ago even gave me a prescription for vitamins but due to anxiety I never really took it consistently I just took it today and plan on being consistent hopefully we notice a difference!

@Anonymous Yes, hopefully! I also took Ashwagandha with it last night (I work Night Shift) and I noticed the thoughts were still there but I wasn’t ruminating so I think that definitely helped!

@kathleenshubby4eva Yes I’ve heard the same thing! When I went to the dr for anxiety & depression the first thing my dr did was check my vitamin d so that’s why I’m thinking it could all be connected

I went to get bloodwork done for my anxiety and the doctors told me that I need to start talking Vitamin D pills twice a day. The doctor told me I need it to strengthen my bones because my anxiety has put a huge toll on my body and I never noticed. I have been taking mine for about a month now and I haven’t noticed much yet but maybe you need to take it for a little longer for there to to be any sort of change. I hope all goes well if you DO start talking vitamin D 🙂

Yes, my doctor recommended it to me. Talking with your doctor first would be best.

Feeling Alone & Hopeless
How many antidepressants have you all tried? I’m on my fourth and possibly transitioning to a fixity because the current one isn’t working. I’ve now done Genesight testing and I was prescribed Pristiq. It hasn’t reduced my anxiety at all. I was wondering if anyone else had to try many medications? And if so, did you eventually find one that worked?

Medication
Can people please share their experiences on very low dose medications for their OCD? Maybe ones that have worked well with little side effects? Anything is helpful & thank you
