In reply to B12 mystery-large amts get rid of ocd + anxiety?!, posted by Smithy123 on February 10, 2011, at 16:23:33
Thank you for sharing your story, I do not feel as alone now.
Who did the blood test and what were the levels?
I know of two older than me (40> years, both females) that also receive injections for similar reason. I would like to get my levels checked too - did you go to chiropractor or regular doctor?When you said "I have always suffered from ADD and mild symptoms of OCD and anxiety. I would have strange feelings to need to do something to make it "Just right" or if I don't do X, then Y will happen. I've also always been a perfectionist especially since I would make a lot of mistakes from my lack of attention. This all creates a lot of constant anxiety for no apparent reason. This and the fact that I have a hard time paying attention results in my having little interest in socializing"
It felt exactly like my symptoms, well, at least for most part... I can sense that you're not aggresive, not too assertive, and these characteristics create major problems as I would rather be quiet and allow others to form wrong opinion of me rather than confront them.
It is good that you remind us of vitamin D and DHA/EPA (DHA is available is pure form from algae nowadays too, and one capsule has 800+ mg of DHA, while recommended daily dose is around 150 mg. With regular fish oil would you would need more than one capsule, of course you get the EPA with it, which is essential to our bodies.
As to your question, do you tnink it might have been placebo effect? Or perhaps there is a certain level of B12 that works - and anything bellow or above does not. Same principle works with medications too.
Thank you very much.
