Chan,
If one were to go by the directions on the side of the vitamin bottle for a condition like OCD I don't believe you would get anywhere. Different vitamin companies have different recommendations for dosages in my experience so I don't pay attention to them. You should do some clinical research and you will find that 1200-2400mg is the most effective dose for OCD, trichotillomania, compulsive gambling and cocaine abuse. I certainly did not make up the dosage my psychiatrist advised me and he is one of the heads of UCLA. You go up 600mg every two weeks. Here are some links if you haven't searched already. As I said in the previous post the Swanson brand works great for me. Solgar is great too but I would check what your capsule is made of.
