Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hi We inadvertantly learned about six months ago when we eventually stopped giving it to him. First it was missed doses in the morning, and then I'd find a missed evening dose the next morning. Finally, I quit giving it to him to find out what would happen. Late one night he came to me and said that he had quit taking his inositol and wanted to start taking it again. I would guess that he had been off of it for about two months. He said that he was feeling anxious at bedtime again and was worrying about electrical outlets. We started it back and within a few days, he was feeling better. I'm not ready to give it a try, but I imagine that we will again ... inadvertantly I can understand wanting to be free of it all, but I can't imagine it:) Regards, Last night after we had all gone to bed except for my > husband, my dh came to me and said " is so happy now, the OCD > must be gone.
