Yes.: Epi-inositol or Vit. B3 has been used for mild to moderate anxiety, simple phobias, social phobia , Agoraphobia ,Panic Disorder and OCD. For OCD you have to use as much as 18 grams daily(powdered), starting at 4 grams twice daily for 3 days at a time and can be used with SSRI or St. John's Wort.
