I'd like to hear from some people who have tried Inositol. If anyone can give me a good description on it's mechanism of action(besides what's on the back of the bottle) that would be great too. Thanks!

Look up inositol and OCD on yahoo search.Ben Gurion University did a controled study on it.50% of the people with depression did not relapse when they stoped taking it.It takes a while for it to work and they took a lot of it.The web is full of info on inositol .It is the precursor to the second messengers inside your cells.A defective enzyme may be the cause of calcium disregulation inside the brain cells of the caudate in OCD.There is some malfuction of these cells here concerning cell kindling.The Ocd thoughts are generated here and the orbitoil frontal cortex controls theses thoughts.This system gets stuck and you have OCD.In children OCD can becaused by strep throat antibodies attacking brain cells in the caudate leading to malfunction.I have agoraphobia with some OCD symptoms which have 100% stoped with fish oil and inositol in the form of soy leithisin.There is tons of research on it.Duke University has Dr. York and he is doing study on inositol now.It is a big new field that will show how brain cells malfunction in the second messenger system and cause mental illness which is the result of releasae of too much brain chemical and calcium disregulation.

I just tried Inositol yesterday at a dose of about 7.5 grams and my day was a nightmare. I felt like a zombie. I couldn't talk to anyone, I just thought & daydreamed all day. It was like I couldn't escape my imagination and get back to reality. I'll never be trying this again.
