NAC and fatigue?

Posted by Emme_V2 on March 23, 2013, at 23:22:47

Hi. A few months ago, I tried N-acetylcysteine to augment Lamictal. I believe i was taking 1,200 mg, but I'd have to double check. I think the pdoc who recommended it said to get up to 2,400 mg (again - I'd have to find the notes). Anyway, around that time, I had a few weeks of overpowering fatigue and weak-feeling arms and legs. My primary care doctor found nothing to explain it, and it was chalked up to a recurrence of depression since I have sometimes had bad fatigue as a symptom. But just to be safe, I discontinued the NAC. Then the fatigue evaporated. The timing of the start and end of the fatigue suggests NAC might have been doing it, but I can't really be sure without doing a retrial. I cannot find anything on the internet indicating fatigue as a possible side effect.
My question is this: has anyone here had a similar experience with NAC?
Thanks,
emme
