Would inositol make ocd/anxiety worse before it gets better? kind of like ssri's do. also is inositol really effective for ocd?

Somewhat: Like most other b vitamins, they CAN have a postive effect on mood disorders, but not as effective as drug therapy.

Inositol: If you are taking this medicine and not responding well please ask your doctor to prescribe something else. If you have not started taking it please do so.
