Integrative Interventions

I stumbled upon glycine for sleep difficulties besides muscle strength and i saw it was also recommended for ocd..there appear to be a lot of studies showing that it works. these are all non prescription.

Inositol: In a double-blind controlled trial of patients with OCD, oral inositol resulted in a significant reduction in the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score, while placebo treatment resulted in average Y-BOCS score reductions of less than one point.
N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC): In a randomized controlled trial, 48 patients with OCD who had not responded to a 12-week course of high-dose SRI medication received either additive NAC or placebo for an additional 12 weeks. In the NAC group, almost 53% had a full clinical response (defined as a decrease in Y-BOCS score of more than 35%), while only 15% in the placebo group achieved a full clinical response.
Glycine: In a randomized controlled trial in OCD patients, very high-dose glycine or placebo was added to ongoing pharmaceutical or behavioral therapy. Patients in the glycine group experienced a mean decrease of over six points in Y-BOCS score compared with a mean one point decrease for those receiving placebo.
Milk thistle: A double-blind randomized trial in participants with OCD compared milk thistle extract to fluoxetine (Prozac). Judged on the basis of change in Y-BOCS scores, milk thistle extract and fluoxetine were similarly effective.
Valerian: In a placebo-controlled trial of valerian root extract in patients with OCD, those taking valerian showed statistically significant reductions in Y-BOCS scores at four, six, and eight weeks compared with those taking placebo.
