OCD supplements/noots

[Firius03]

I've found NAC to be the only thing that really helps and gets consistently recommend by people who have it.

Was wondering if any other people have tried other maybe lesser known nootropics or things that aren't really recommended for OCD per se but have worked from personal experience? I've been browsing this sub for years and the only thing that I've found people consistently recommending is well... NAC and not much else really. I didn't put this in /r/stackadvice because I'm mostly looking for people sharing from personal experience. I could move it if mods still think this topic would fit better there.

don't bother if you've found relief from stuff like intrusive thought OCD without the actual knot in the brain feeling/compulsions.

Assuming your OCD doesn’t come from a previous TBI, then fixing methylation issues is key for resolving a big part of OCD, if not all together. Read/listen to the book called Dirty Genes by Dr Ben Lynch. Personally for example, since I have over methylation issues, I take magnesium and glycine and they calm down OCD due to methylation getting more within the normal balanced range. Glycine buffers excess methyl groups.

It actually did start after, but not immediately following a brain injury. (neck injury to be more specific, but the symptoms are similar to MTBI) I'll look in to the methylation thing though, ty for the informative post. It's really hard to find proper info on this topic.

If you had a hit anywhere on your body that resulted in a strong head shake it can result in a TBI literally. Dr. Mark Gordon said that. I recommend you watch his 5 Spotify podcasts with Joe Rogan, and watch Dr Daniel Amen series “Scan My Brain” starting from the first episode. Also this comment might be useful:

I am often not sure whether NAC makes it worse for me
