Have any of you tried taking Inositol - it’s a vitamin basically that the brain needs for seratonin - it’s helped some people with ocd worth a try. Good luck and love to you all.

Will try it along with citalopram. Reading up on it you need quite high doses. That would be about 1/4 bottle on H&B strength.
