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.

There is limited evidence for N-acetylcistine (NAC) helping. That's the only one I know of that has any research support

My medications did have a huge positive impact for me, personally. I know they aren’t for everyone, but I truly believe mine are part of the reason I’m still alive today. I always suggest people try medication- if it doesn’t work or makes you feel worse, you can always try a new med or go off them.

I know that everyone is different but what are you taking? Also, are you still taking them now?

@riss123 I’m taking 150mg Zoloft. I’ve been on it for around 6 or 7 years, although we have had to increase my dose throughout that time. I am currently still taking them, and I likely will for the rest of my life.
