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!
2 doctors have told me that I'm deficienct in vitamin D and that it must be contributing to my depression 🤔💬
@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.
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?
Not necessarily asking for reassurance and I know I’ve mentioned this here before but my OCD has been affecting my cognition seemingly. I’ll forget small things or put things in odd places sometimes, or mix up words - things like that. Obviously this triggers me to be like “Alzheimers/dementia.” Can anyone relate? And if you recovered what did you do for it?
I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
