Inositol seemed to work well for a while for my OCD and anxiety. I used 12 grams a day... You can buy the powered form from www.lef.org for a good price.
However, one negative thing I did find out the hard way... Inositol is reported to desensitize serotonin receptors. I believe this is true, because after I stopped taking Inositol I decided to go back onto Celexa, and I couldn't tolerate even the smallest dosage (2.5mg). I repeatedly got hypomania and severe anxiety from restarting it, so my Pdoc and I postulated this was due to the effort the Inositol had on the serotonin receptor sites. Previous to taking the Inositol, I took Celexa in upwards of 30mg with no problem.
