Guest Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Anyone tried it? Should I start with 600mg (one pill) a day? Mike Cernovich made a post on his blog claiming it cured his anxiety and depression. That'd be half the battle for me. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dangerandplay.com/2014/07/21/n-acetylcysteine-nac-depression-anxiety/amp/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onemorestep Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 For some reason NAC gives me horrific anxiety attacks. A few other people around the internet report this as well. Low glutamate in certain brain regions may account for this as lowering those levels further has a downstream effect on reducing GABA. No way to tell though >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitgun Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I got respiratory distress from it and it just made me feel bad. When I was moving my head, it felt like my vision had problems adjusting to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemorestep Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 I was doing some research and came across some information that NAC augments AMPA transmission. This explains my supremely negative reaction to it... some people on this forum don’t do well with touching ampa receptors. They also seem to be the subset of people who react well to keppra interestingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 i discovered nac by accident about 9 years ago now. I took it as a hangover preventative. It didn't do much so one night i thought fuck it, lets give it one last proper try and took 14 x 600mg pills. I woke up with a hangover, but was not expecting (so it took me a while of pleasantly surprised reflection to work out it was the nac) the massive drop in brain fog, fatigue and anxiety. I have never been as bad, tho it didn't touch my hppd as such. I am in uk and get my nac from bulkpowders.com which seems cheap and high quality. It doesn't seem to be a direct drug effect as the fog only starts returning slowly after days and weeks, so my guess is that the fog and anxiety are sequelae of hppd or predisposing condition that generates a lot of oxidative stress that the brain can't clear fast enough to prevent accumulation. Also bear in mind if you are having a bad reaction that nac makes fat soluble toxins water soluble, so you may get a herxheimer reaction as the toxins mobilise due via glutathione. Try a lower dose and drink water more, 2400mg seems quite high for a start dose, tho obviously nothing on my 14 pills! Now i just take half a teaspoon before drinking and half on a hangover; as i drink quite a lot this amount is enough to keep my fog down. I also do vit b (also from bulk powders) and d, and make my own cheapo magnesium malate by disolving magnesium ribbon in malic acid, which all seem to add a bit of extra pep to the nac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onemorestep Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 That’s fascinating!! I don’t react well to it (well at least I didn’t when in heavy benzo withdrawal last time I tried it; might give it another go) but what I did notice one time when I took it on a night of heavy drinking, it cut my hangover in half. I give it to my family on vacation now when they go hard and they love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
