Hi,

My husband suffers from anxiety, OCD (repetitive thoughts) and now depression. Anyone have any suggestions for supplements that you've tried and that helped?

Regards, KO

Vitamin B complex, magnesium/calcium/zinc combo, and fish oil was recommended to us. They seem to be helping. St Johns wort was also recommended to us but it has a drug interaction with zoloft.

Best of luck.

Taurine has helped me the most of all the supplements.

Magnesium is great as well as B vitamins.

Yes, as RFD mentioned...please check any interactions with other medications with your doctor/pharmacist.

Best wishes, and post anytime,
