Hi brave OCD fighter,
> freedom,
> actually I am being treated by the treatment facility that wrote the info. you posted!
> Thanks for that info.I'm not sure what you mean by the 'treatment facility'. The info that I wrote was prescribed by myself. My hospital doc has less involvement in my prescription. It was through trials and sufferings that I'm currently on this regimen. So I don't understand what you meant by 'treatment facility'.
> As for the magnesium, no magnesium glycinate will not hurt you in any way, if anything it will help much more than the mag. oxide, which is useless. Many products contain mag. oxide because it is a very CHEAP ingredient and simply saves them money!I c. Cheap therefore they use it in most of the supplements.
But my UK magnesium is magnesium hydroxide. How does it compare to magnesium oxide?
Get some mag. glycinate. (I knew of the 3 forms you mentioned to avoid, and yes, I also avoid those 3. The glycinate form will cost more, because it is much higher quality. Are you on the natural supplement regimen advocated in the post that you posted? I am (have been about 4 months).
Where and how can I get magnesium glycinate? Is there a magnesium glycinate/calcium carbonate/zinc/vit D combo? I don't mind paying more.
Yes, I'm taking a variety of approaches to tackle this terrible illness.
As for Anafranil, I used to take it years ago. It worked well for my ocd but knocked me OUT! I was always dead tired, various side effects, but it did work for my ocd.
Anafranil side effects can be quite bad. Perhaps when I was on anafranil, the army colonels keep stressing me up, therefore producing a counter-effect on me. They thought I was putting on an act to escape the conscription (I had genuine OCD problems, mind them!), and keep piling enormous stress on me.
OCD sucks the gigantic elephant sac, I hate even hearing the letters o-c-d. I hope you are feeling much better freedom! Take care!!
Today, my condition worsened in the morning due to a huge quarrel with my friend two days ago and I had been sleeping at 5am for the past 2 days. I hope I can recover soon!
Have you learnt about my plan to set up an OCD Research Centre?
Pls tell me your current situation now too.
Take care and God bless!
