Is any one on here taking natural supplements they have found helpful for OCD/Anxiety? I have decided to stop taking my medications because I am planning to possibly have a baby this year. I am going to therapy once a week but i am still struggling a lot with my OCD so I was wondering if anyone on here had any tips about natural supplements or remedies.

GABA supplements helped me!! When my anxiety was super bad at the start of treatment (my body would feel shaky all day and my heart seemed like it was racing), I would take about three of them a day (don’t worry it’s recommended on the bottle!) I didn’t want to become dependent on them for my anxiety so I actually was able to take it down to two a day, then one and now I haven’t taken a gaba supplement in almost a month! I thought it was really beneficial and helped me on my road to recovery!

I take a lot of inositol and gabbatone and that has been tremedously helpful

I take GABA for the times I have random spikes of anxiety, but I have heard research suggesting it’s not a good supplement for those with depression. I’ve heard 5-HTP is a good alternative for those with depression

I don’t take any personally but I’ve heard good things about the quiet mind supplement made by herbalogic… but like I said I don’t use it personally… hope this helps

Do you have Pinterest? There are list of supplements with descriptions of what they do or are made up of. These help anxiety for some people which in return could make the ocd not as bad. I’d talk to a doctor bc you don’t want to be taking a supplement that makes you not as fertile or thats bad for a baby etc

I take Lions mane mushrooms and Quercetin. I also take daily vitamins. I’ve tried two pharmaceutical perceptions but they didn’t help as much as the quercetin and lions mane mixture.

Definitely talk with a doctor about any supplements you decide to take while pregnant. Not all are okay during pregnancy or nursing.

Apparently valerian works quite well for some people

I take Inositol 6mg x 3 Magnesium Vit D Vit B Folate Taurine Relora Theanine
