I've been researching on the net about Inositol and finally decided to take the plunge and start on a 6 week program of Inositol following dosage information on the second link listed.

I was just wondering if anyone else has tried a high dose treatment program of Inositol? and if so how did it work for them?

We tried it 15+ years ago with dd. I don't remember having great results, but she has been a tough one to treat successfully. She is severely autistic and bipolar.

Not wanting to pry, so please don't feel obligated to answer. Was the treatment of inositol for depression & anxiety, or for other issues?

It was for autism, but she has lots of anxiety and depression. Some autistic kids do very well on medications/supplements that impact serotonin levels in the brain. She was young and non-verbal at the time, so it was hard to gage whether she felt better being on it.

I can say that it didn't make her any worse or develop any memorable negative side-effects.
