I'd appreciate some feedback from anyone who's using the B vitamin inositol in connection with OCD. The Israeli Studies (Am.Jrnl of Psychiatry 9/96 & Harvard MH Nwsltr 12/96) report success with 18 grams (6 gm TID). Two patients who've begun with just 1 gm TID report in the exact same words: "I now have a choice as to whether to do it or not."

It appears that, whatever the chemical pathway, what we're seeing is a re-institution (or awakening) of the patients' free will.

Any comments?
