There are some things to be aware of though: L-lysine can make cholsterol problems somewhat worse (if you have any), and you might struggle to get the specific dose you need. If you can't find your exact dose, look for the closest dose that is LOWER, not higher, than the dose you need. It won't poison you if you take too much but it's not going to be super-healthy.
I might talk to someone about this as it sounds like it might be helpful for my ADHD, since it treats anxiety and OCD symptoms. Thanks for bringing this up!
EDIT: Also be aware that longer term use may result in upset stomachs and diarrhea. Do not combine it with calcium supplements as this may affect your health by increasing calcium levels too high, which can cause unpleasant symptoms.
