Can I take seperate vitamins b6 and vitamin b12 supplements for OCD?

[doraemon51]

I have been diagnosed with OCD. I have obsessive irrational thoughts which don't go out of my mind for months. I don't want to go on SSRIs. The psychologist suggested me Prozac along with Alzivit(Folic acid+Vitamin B6+Vitamin B12) and Vitamin D3. I have decided to first try these multivitamins and see if the situation improves before going on to SSRIs. Also, I have heard folic acid is bad for ocd. So can I order seperate supplements for Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 and take them?

Hi there.  I'm not the best person to answer this question.  I have taken Prozac with success in the past.  Currently I take a different drug.  BUT I also take folic acid to counter the effects of methotrexate for RA and I don't feel it has had any effect on making my OCD worse.  Honestly, over the counter medication I have not had much success with.  I think the first thing to do is learn cognitive behavioral therapy and then if you are still having problems, then you can introduce medication.  Medication works well but there will always be times of breakthrough anxiety and that is where the CBT comes in handy.
