I've been taking 500 to 1,500mg of N-acetyl-L-cysteine for mood swings, OCD and anxiety for over a year. Seemed to take effect about 2 months after starting: Improved sleep, more calm, less anxiety were the result. At that time I also took it with Savella.
I stopped Savella as it seemed to be bothering my heart and prostate condition. Now I'm on Emsam and NAC and it seems I can't tell if the NAC is still working.
The lack of posts here about NAC have me concerned. Is NAC dead?
Seems there is a big variation in performance with different brands. I don't like to mention brand names but I have tried several. The only one that seems to work for me is the Bluebonnet NAC.

You could try jomarlabs.com. I've used them quite a long time ago maybe 15 years ago, but they have a good reputation, and you can get NAC in powdered form if that's cheaper for you.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure bulk would be cheaper. Have you been using NAC? If so, are you getting any results?

NAC just agitates me. Wish I knew why. I've never tried it for more than a couple of days at a time, though.

I started taking NAC a couple weeks ago. My mind has been quieter since I started taking it. I'm taking 1,800 mg a day, and I'm planning to keep increasing my dose. I've read that it's safe to take up to 3,600 mg. Some people suggest taking it with vitamin C, as this can increase its effectiveness.

Made me very aggressive. I haven't heard of success stories.
Initially the effect was pretty good, after 2 days: Simply aggression.

Me too. For the first 3 days almost magical disappearance of depression: then agitated like crap.
