I was doing some research online to try to help myself out, as I was realizing the depression and anxiety I was having had been getting worse over time, and I came across some info on inositol for this purpose. Depression and anxiety are basically two sides of the same coin, and I had been feeling like I was on edge all the time, really stressed out, not enjoying life, and that something really needed to change. I prefer supplementation and lifestyle changes over prescription drugs if at all possible, so I thought this was worth a shot. I can say I'm pleasantly surprised to find that this seems to have made a big difference in taking the edge off of how I had been feeling. It was kind of subtle and powerful at the same time to feel like some weight had been lifted off, and it seemed like I was less bothered by little things, less irritable, less stressed. On the depression side, it feels like I got some ability back to enjoy basic things, which was big for me. For dosage, I was seeing a pretty wide range, but most information indicated a high dose was needed for psychological benefit, so I have taken amounts in the 10-15g range, twice a day dissolved in water. I took some measurements with a sensitive scale I have, but this was basically like a heaping tablespoon, so since I started a few weeks ago, I have not been making exact measurements, just a big spoonful. The only side effect I've seen is slight upset stomach if taken on an empty stomach, but that's about it. Of course if you are in psychological distress, or have really severe depression, you should see a doctor. But I wanted to share that this has been helpful for me and I'll continue taking it.
