Thanks a lot for the basic list, Mark.

Does B-12 help repair the myelin sheath, which is the connecting structure between neurons? Is this way it is on the top of the list?

Thanks for the website you've linked. I'll probably ask to purchase the supplements from them when I start taking them.

There are 2 things I'm unsure about, though:

1. You mentioned Magnesium citrate. Magnesium is an NMDA receptor antagonist, which means it can potentiate different drugs by reversing tolerance to them (NMDA receptors on certain neurons can reduce the sensitivity of other receptors on the same neurons). My concern is taking Magnesium with stimulants for ADHD - I've heard many reports that Magnesium taken with stimulants greatly enhances their effects through NMDA antagonism. Also, Glutamate is an important neurotransmitter for learning and memory, and Magnesium blocks the receptors for Glutamate. Couldn't it make things worse, then?

2. Does the fish oil you have comes in tablet/pill form? You mentioned in another thread that you take 3 grams of fish oil per day - tablets containing fish oil usually contain anywhere between 300-900mg of DHA + EPA. I've not seen any supplement store that sells tablets with more than 900mg of fish oil. Do you take multiple tablets in order to get 3 grams of fish oil? Also, I can get fish oil liquid (containing DHA + EPA) at a relatively cheap price. Is there a significant difference between taking fish oil as liquid versus taking it in tablets? Or can I take all supplements as tablets and only the fish oil as liquid?

On another note, CBT helped me significantly for my social anxiety and fear of getting hit in the head, but certain parts of my OCD have become much worse. For example, I'm sometimes afraid to touch objects that fell on panels in my room, since I sprayed the panels with an insecticide 5 months ago. I'm afraid that the insecticide is still there and that it can poison me if I pick up the object and then the insecticide will get into my body by mistake. I'm also sometimes not touching kitchen towels since I'm anxious about whether or not they got dish soap on them, and if they do, I'm afraid it'll get into my system and hurt me.

I know these sound obsessive, and they only appeared a few months ago. I don't know why, but a few months ago, my OCD suddenly started becoming much, much worse. Just suddenly without a warning. My social anxiety has improved, but my OCD got really bad.

I have only sometimes tried to apply the relaxation techniques from CBT to my OCD fears of being poisoned, but I find myself many times forgetting to do it or giving up. I need to work on it more.

So is it best to combine supplements with psychological work on resolving OCD, or should I just use the relaxation techniques first?
