    It works for about half the people that try it from what I have read. I got lucky. I never had luck with anything else. Mine likely stems from mild hereditary ocd FWIW. It’s one of those problems I never thought a pill would fix, let alone a supplement lol.

    You’ll want to look at the studies for dosages.

      I love that this works, but this is basically black magic to me.

        This is still in the medical trials stage. Long term effects are yet unknown, most of the study participants have been women. It is reccommended to also undergo therapy at the same time. Do not just take this, or at the very least read the recent papers so you know what you may get yourself into regarding side effects. Self-medication without medical supervision is a bad idea. And the current data does not paint a complete picture in what to expect, from what I found.

          My road to stop nailbiting was “cover your nail in foul-tasting liquid, and make sure to get a new one every day because you will get used to everything”. And that took a year or so.

          So I love that better options exist now, but you’re absolutely right that self-medication is pretty much always a bad idea.

            True, I’ve talked to a professional. :) I’d recommend the same. The liquid wasn’t working for me nor were acrylics.

            sounds like treating my skin picking by covering them problem spots with bandaids…

      The link doesn’t work.

      Amazing find though! For me it makes my nose super runny, it’s prescribed for stuffed nose stuff if I’m not mixing things up here.

        Yep, looks like it is used for that too. It is used to treat a lot of different things but most of it is currently under trials. Fingers crossed they pass
