I never had any nausea on NAC, but I stopped taking it because I didn't like how it made me feel. Perhaps, a trip to the gastroenterologist might be in order. Maybe they can shed some light on the causes of your nausea. And don't rule out the effect of all that medication on your digestive system. I had unexplained nausea off and on a few years ago, but it was rather mild. Don't know if it was due to my medication or just a symptom of my reflux disease. Do you get heartburn a lot? Do you drink a lot of coffee. Sometimes, too much coffee can cause nausea or if you are producing too much acid in your stomach. There are so many causes of nausea. Bring it up with your doctor is all I can say. If you think it is the NAC, try lowering the dose with your doctor's approval. Ask him if the cocktail of drugs he's giving you is too strong for your digestive system. Or it could be psychosomatic in nature, meaning there's no direct cause for the nausea. It just might be a symptom of your psychological disorder. I've read that many people with mental problems also have digestive problems as well. Whether it's cause and effect I can't say for sure. For myself, some of my digestive problems actually improved on medication, but I still have reflux disease. I hope you get to the root of your problem. Talk with your doctor, and definitely bring it up with your primary care physician. He may be able to rule out a lot of things. Good luck!
