Hi! I started taking this Inositol about a month ago. I kept track of how I started taking it:
Day 1: 1 tsp (2.9 grams) in the evening
Day 2-3: 1 tsp AM/PM (5.8 grams total)
Day 4-11: 1.5 tsp AM/PM (8.7 grams total)
Day 12-today: 2 tsp AM/PM (11.6 grams)
I am using Inositol to also treat anxiety. Honestly after the first two days of using Inositol, even at the lower dose, I FELT less anxious. I have never felt so calm in my life as I have this last month. I'm also sleeping much better. It's been a relief for me and as you can see I am not quite to the 12-19 grams that is recommended for anxiety/depression.
I am feeling confident about being able to take care of myself and improve my health and a lot of that comes from the calmness that I do believe Inositol has given me.
In addition to Inositol, I also take the Pill, Choline, D-Chiro, and I just started Berberine a few days ago.
I also started a keto diet the same time I started Inositol. The Inositol is not magic for me with weight loss like some women experience. Maybe it's because I am already at a weight that is considered normal. I have lost a few pounds just in the last couple days with tracking calories.
Back to the sleep thing - I don't feel lethargic anymore and I used to all the time. I don't know if that's due to the Inositol or starting the Pill - which is now giving me hormones I haven't felt in a year. (No period on my own in over a year so my Dr. gave me bc)
Give the Inositol a shot. I think you may be pleasantly surprised!
It sounds to me like you are experiencing intrusive thoughts. I experienced this and social anxiety as well when I was your age and by the time I got to college, it escalated into severe panic attacks.
For me, the solution was getting on a medication called celexa, which is extremely effective in treating each of those problems. If this is strongly harming your quality of life, you might consider seeing a doctor and trying something similar.
If this is just a minor thing though, you may also see some success through healthier eating and exercise. Also, the supplement inositol is very effective at treating obsessive thoughts and anxiety in super-high doses. Hope some of this helps!
While also recommending therapy as the #1 go to here, I would also like to toss out a suggestion for a supplement that helped to blunt my panic attacks, inositol, which has been shown to have anti-anxiety effects at higher doses. It doesn't make them go completely away for me, but it blunts them enough to the point where my rational brain can override the panic signal.
On the downside, it's not particularly good for spontaneous sex, as (in my experience) you need to take it about 30 minutes before you might find yourself having an attack, as it takes a bit of time to kick in, but the effect lasts (for me) for about three hours, so you have a bit of leeway.
