In reply to NAC 6 months, posted by Jeroen on July 5, 2016, at 9:11:03
Hi, Jeroen.
> 6 months for an anti depressant to kick in no thanks
6 months is not an ideal waiting period, of course. 6 days would be beter. However, you can be trying other treatments in the meantime. You could consider NAC to be more of a supplement than a drug. It is thought that NAC reduces glutamate overactivity. If it were to work for you, you could have been better by now had you started taking it in January. That's not too bad.
I tried NAC, but I didn't like how I felt on it. It caused a mild dysphoria. This seems to be an atypical reaction, though. If you don't like it, you just stop taking it.
You have a long life ahead of you. 6 months is nothing. That's easy for me to say, though. It is true, though. And like I said, you can be trying other drugs in the meantime.
Okay... That's the end of my sale-pitch.
:-)
I truly don't know what I would do if I were in your position. I know you have had many bad reactions to drugs in the past. Perhaps it is best for you to do more research on NAC before committing to it.
