I hope not too! In our case, at first got worse when we started it in

middle school, but then I didn't know if OCD was just getting worse on its own

or if it was the inositol. But we hung in there and it started helping. Glad

you're already seeing improvement, do hope it keeps up!

Call me crazy but I noticed a difference in my DD after her first dose. (Giving

her 600mg twice a day to start)

Today is day 2 and this is the most normal day we've had in weeks?

Is it my imagination!??

She has had a few intrusive thoughts but she was able to send Mr. Worry packing

with out having meltdowns.

Maybe it's just a coincidence but I hope not.

My son reacted very quickly too, but not that quickly. I was giving him 1/4 tsp

2x a day (each 1/4 tsp is 845 mg). I increased it every few days until we

reached about 4 grams a day. I had noticed a difference in him sooner than

that, but it was at this level that HE noticed a difference in himself. Said he

felt calmer and wasn't having as many thoughts. This was almost 3 years ago

when he was 9. Now he's 12 and doing extremely well. He still takes inositol,

which I adjust up and down from time to time as needed. He currently takes

about 7 grams a day, which is still considered low. I also wonder if it's the

inositol that helps him. I don't want to stop giving it to him to find out

though! No side effects, so I just keep giving it to him.

I'm glad you're seeing some improvement, whatever the reason may be. I hope you

have the success with inositol that we've had.

Hi,

Just wanted to chime in with my experience (this is my first time posting to the

group): We noticed a difference within a few days. My DD (age 6.5 and weighs

about 42 lbs) only takes 845 mg/day (Source Naturals brand powder; available on

Amazon). The difference in the last 3 months has been astounding and can only be

attributed to the inositol. Almost overnight, the intense anxiety, intrusive

thoughts, meltdowns and opposition practically disappeared. She still gets

'stuck' on things and has some anxiety, but she is much more able to cope with

transitions and change much more easily and most meltdowns tend to fizzle out

instead of ramp up. Her social skills (she also has an Asperger's dx) have also

improved dramatically now that she isn't overwhelmed by anxiety. She actually

plays with other children now instead of clinging to me at the playground. I

cried the first time she ran off to play with another little girl.

(((I hope inositol works as well for your DD.))) And thanks to the group for the

wealth of information here...I may not post, but I get great comfort from the

information and shared experiences.

, happy to hear how well your DD is doing, and on inositol too. She's

doing really well on that 845 mg, very low dose!

My son, 8 years old, takes 16 grams of inositol a day. 6 grams, 3x day. I

started to notice a difference in about 2 weeks.(we started him out at a low

dose and increased over time.) He still has some intrusive thoughts but is able

deal with them. Or he will come to me for reassurance and I tell him " that

thought is OCD, not you! Don't listen to it! "

Thanks, Chris! I was completely shocked to see such as change so quickly and

with such a small dose. I'm reluctant to increase it at all since she is doing

so well...I've read about mania coming from high doses in some kids and don't

want to risk it (we have a strong family history of bipolar disorder and know DD

is at risk). I hope others read this and give inositol a try. 3 months ago I

wouldn't have believed DD would be functioning so well. We really were at a

breaking point when we gave it a try. (((Thanks again for all the info here.)))
