I just bought a few supplements, including GNC Omega-3 Fish Body Oil. I made sure it was free of mercury, and other things like dioxin, PCBs and Chlordane. I wanted Carlson's Omega-3 fish oil, or ZoneLabs brand, but I think you can only get ZoneLabs directly from them, and it ain't cheap. But no biggie.

A guy I've been talking to online in dealing with anxiety and OCD without drugs says he takes 10,000 mg a day. My main problem with all these supplements is the cost. Even if they work, will I be able to stay on them? Especially if I'm using them up quickly, taking so much a day (I don't plan to take 10,000 mg a day, at least at first, but even a few a day adds up).

I also got some Biotin, mainly because I want to see if it will improve my hair and nails as I've heard it will.

I have done some research, but I'm really a novice to all this stuff. It bores me to tears, so retaining what I've learned is difficult.

I got some Inositol, because it's supposed to be really good for OCD, although I'm interested in getting some organic Evening Primrose Oil and Flaxseed oil (both must be taken with a protein).

Additionally, I got a B-Complex vitamin. There are other vitamins and supplements I may get in the future, too.

I'm considering trying Peppermint Oil for my IBS, and for anxiety and OCD, a combination of St. John's Wort (although I'm nervous about messing with that) and Passion Flower, possibly via a supplement that consists of the two, like Native Remedies' MindSoothe.
