[QUOTE="Josie, post: 304221, member: 1792"] For Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a high dose of inositol is required. I was trying to give my daughter 16 g daily in 3 doses. A lot of times, I forgot to give her the lunch dose, so she got less. Most people that do this, buy the powder and mix it in a drink. I just mixed hers in water and she thought it was ok to drink. It is sweet. It is much cheaper to buy it online. I bought the first bottle at a vitamin store for about $60. At 16 g daily, the bottle doesn't last long. When I ordered it online, I was able to get 6 - 8 weeks worth for about the same price. You do have to start out at a smaller dose and work up, to avoid GI problems. When my daughter took this, her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) did seem to get a little better but we were doing intensive CBT/ERP at the same time, so I can't say it was directly tied to the inositol. I was pretty impressed though when I saw she wasn't picking any more at all and the doctor said that inositol worked for that. [/QUOTE]
