i wanna try supplementing if it’ll help my friend started taking ashwagandha for stress and she said it’s been helping a ton so i’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a supplement that works for ocd
I’ve taken ashwagandha and it’s just ok for me. I believe NAC has helped me more in conjunction with my meds. I’m taking Luvox and Buspar right now. Caution with NAC, it upsets your stomach with bloating. I’m thinking about going to a second pill a day.
I take L-theanine and a supplement called GABA Calm Mind in a lozenge form. The GABA Calm helps me so much. When I start feeling anxious I take one and I can really feel a difference. The L-theanine is more subtle and takes time to build up in your system. Same for ashwagandha since it’s helping to balance your hormones. Supplements definitely depend on the person, so something that works for one person may not work for another. I hope you find something that helps!
Does anyone have any recommendations on all natural supplements that help with their ocd? (Obviously not ERP and CBT therapy). I am having a hard time deciding on if I should get on meds or not. Unsure of if they make a huge positive impact.
Has anyone here ever taken or take Ashwaghanda, Magnesium, or any other natural supplement instead of or with a prescription med? I would really rather not take any medicine but honestly I’m not okay with nothing, my depersonalization, anxiety and ocd make life hell but I hate taking medication. Please help
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?
