Hello all, I have started taking Bacopa monnieri and Nardostachys jatamansi for my anxiety and OCD. Been taking these for the past 15 days, don’t know about OCD but my anxiety is manageable now with fewer side effects. I haven’t stopped conventional allopathic medicines as advised by my doc. Let’s see the progress after a month.

It’s a slippery slope. A lot of it doesn’t need any decent science to be validated by serious study. That is a problem.
Some supplements really can be dangerous so it’s important to read good sources especially on the internet.
I’ve found a different antidepressant to help with both those problems so it’s also important to give yourself a chance with conventional medicine. It’s expensive because it’s been through a much bigger and inclusive process…Supplements don’t have those safeguards and the internet will tell you otherwise.

Be careful. Supplements have lethal/dangerous dosages. Remember that. Take what you see on the bottle, usually!

I take effexor. I used to take xanax as needed for anxiety but I’m much better at dealing with it these days and been off xanax for years.
