Has anyone tried the supplement Acetylcistine ( an amino acid available like a vitamin) for help with compulsion? Lockdown has been really hard for me to maintain my attempts not to pull. Too isolating and triggering. Any experience with amino-acid supplements would be appreciated. Thanks
Just stopped taking this after 2 weeks of really really disrupted sleep. I googled the heck out of it and couldn't find any correlation between NAC and sleep, but the night I stopped taking it I actually slept 7.5 hrs at night time. I'm not warning you off, just sharing my experience. I found no beneficial results from taking 600mg daily for 2 weeks so stopping was not an issue for me. My psychiatrist says some of her clients rave about how great it is. Just not me.
